Incredible to see such an iconic film from 50 years ago (!) up on the big screen from a film print. Really nothing like it. 5 of the original cast members were there - ladies from the band - they had a great stories. The Q&A could have been run much better so that the audience would have had a chance to get more involved earlier but all in all it was a great night and "Well, nobody's perfect!" Had to say it. See you at the movies.
My first time to The Egyptian. Incredible venue! And I had never seen "Some Like it Hot" from beginning to end so it really was a new movie for me. Staff friendly and informative.

1959, MGM Repertory, 119 min. Dir. Billy Wilder.

Hosted by Mark Viera who wrote The Making of "Some Like It Hot" with Tony Curtis. Viera will relate some previously untold behind-the-scenes stories from the book. Discussion following with the girls from the orchestra including Marian Collier (Olga, the clarinet player).
