Altitude and Capelight Pictures are thrilled to bring Billy Wilder‘s classic crime comedy, Some Like it Hot, to the UK for the first time in 4K on UHD Blu-ray. To celebrate the release a 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook will be available from 18th May.
From writer and director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard, The Apartment) Some Like it Hot stars Marilyn Monroe (All About Eve), Tony Curtis (Spartacus) and Jack Lemmon(The Apartment). In 1960, the film won the Oscar® for Best Costume Design and three Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture – Comedy, Best Actor – Musical/Comedy (Jack Lemmon) and Best Actress – Musical/Comedy (Marilyn Monroe).
In Some Like It Hot, two Chicago musicians, Joe and Jerry, witness the Valentine’s Day Massacre. Fearing the gangster Spats Colombo, the two flee. On their journey to another state, they meet Sugar Kane Kowalczyk and her all-female band and spontaneously join the group – with new identities. Disguised as women, they now perform as Josephine and Daphne. But it doesn’t take long for the next trouble to arise…
This parody of gangster films and melodramas is one of Billy Wilder’s best-known and most popular works, and is also Marilyn Monroe’s most successful film. In 2000, the American Film Institute named the film the funniest American film of all time.
The 3-disc Limited Collector’s Edition Mediabook contains the movie on UHD-Blu-ray (in 4K with Dolby Vision and HDR10) and Blu-ray, a Bonus-Blu-ray and a 24-page booklet.
Some Like it Hot will be releasing on Limited Collector’s Edition 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from 18th May
