Alaina's Trial by Movies: Jack Lemmon

This challenge was originally set for just Alaina to do. However, over the last year of doing this Luke, Alaina's husband, has been joining us for some of the movies. The last movie that he watched with us was Pillow Talk. With the success of that movie I knew that he would have to watch the Jack Lemmon movie with us, Some Like It Hot.


This movie is a hilarious story about two guys on the run from the mob. They decide the are going to hide from them by dressing up like women and joining and all women's band and go to Florida. This movie has an all star cast of Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe.

So, the added bonus that Luke also answered the questions as well!

1. What were your thoughts going into this movie? Alaina:" I was looking forward to the title did not help describe the movie". Luke: "Never thought what the movie would be by what the title is".

2. What was your favorite part of the movie? Luke: "Stalling the owner of the yacht owner with the dancing." Alaina: "Where they are on the train and all the girls piling into the bed on the train and they were trying to take Jack Lemmon's bra off".

3. Who was your favorite character? Alaina: "Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon equally". Luke: "I agree they were and equally good paring".

4. Why? Alaina: "They bounced off each other really well. They had good screen compatibility and good facial expressions.

5. What did you not like about the movie? Luke: "The conductor and manager were on the train and never seen again during the movie. They basically told the 'new girls' what they could and could not do. I thought they were going to catch them doing something but they never did and they never really came back into play.

6. What did you think of Jack Lemmon? Alaina "He was funny and had good facial expressions". Luke: "they made him a comical voice of reason, he was good".

7. What do you think of the movie now that you have seen it? Luke: "0 out of 10 because some of those people didn't like it hot". Alaina: "Luke the movie is called Some Like It Hot so it should get a 10 out of 10 because only some of them liked it hot. I liked it I thought it was entertaining.

8. Would you watch it again? Both said yes.

9. Would you recommend? Yes

10. What relevance does it have to today? Luke made some sort of pointless joke here that was not really worth trying to put in here. Alaina: "I don't know really? Don't get involved with the mob? Oh, you should always stick with your friend".
