Seminar: Some Like It Hot

Some Like it Hot features Marilyn Monroe's iconic performance as the glamorous, poignant jazz singer Sweet Sue. 

Come learn about Monroe's method and how the film's fascination with 1920s jazz is shaped by director Billy Wilder's youth as a Jewish boy growing up in Vienna.
