Some Like It Hot (1959) is a comedy film directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon. The supporting cast includes George Raft, Joe E. Brown, Pat O'Brien, and Nehemiah Persoff. The film was adapted by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond from the story by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan. Logan had already written the story (but without the gangsters) for a German film, Fanfaren der Liebe (directed by Kurt Hoffmann, 1951), so that Wilder's film is seen by some as a remake.
After the worldwide success of the French comedy La Cage aux Folles, United Artists re-released Some Like It Hot in cinemas in 1981. In 2000, the American Film Institute listed Some Like It Hot as the greatest American comedy film of all time.

Plot
Two struggling musicians, Joe and Jerry (Curtis and Lemmon), witness what looks like the Saint Valentine's Day massacre of 1929. When the Chicago gangsters, led by 'Spats' Columbo (Raft) spot them, the duo flee for their lives. They escape and decide to leave town, only to find the sole out-of-town jobs available are in an all-girl band headed to Florida. The two disguise themselves as women, calling themselves Josephine and Geraldine (later Jerry changes his pseudonym to Daphne), join the band and board a train. Joe and Jerry both fall for "Sugar Kane" (Monroe), the band's sexy Polish-American vocalist and ukulele player, and fight for her affection while maintaining their disguises.
In Florida, Joe woos Sugar by assuming a second disguise as a millionaire named "Junior", the heir to Shell Oil, while mimicking Cary Grant's voice. An actual millionaire, Osgood Fielding III (Brown), falls for Jerry in his Daphne guise. One night Osgood asks Daphne out to his yacht. Joe convinces Daphne to keep Osgood ashore while he goes on the yacht with Sugar. That night Osgood proposes to Daphne who, in a state of excitement, accepts, believing he can finagle a large settlement from Osgood immediately following their wedding ceremony.
When the mobsters arrive at the same hotel for a conference honoring "Friends of Italian Opera", Spats and his gang spot Joe and Jerry. After several humorous chases (and witnessing yet another mob murder), Jerry, Joe, Sugar, and Osgood escape to the millionaire's yacht. Enroute, Sugar tells Joe that she's in love with him and not with "Junior". Jerry, for his part, tries to explain to Osgood that he cannot marry him, but Osgood is oblivious to all of Jerry's objections and remains determined—to the very end—to go through with the marriage; finally, Jerry removes the wig and yells, "I'm a man!", prompting Osgood to utter the movie's memorable last line: "Well, nobody's perfect."

Production
The film was originally planned to be filmed in full color, but after several screen tests, it had to be changed to black and white because of a very obvious 'green tint' around the heavy make-up required by Curtis and Lemmon when portraying Josephine and Daphne. The Florida segment was filmed at the Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California.
Some Like It Hot received a "C" (Condemned) rating from the Catholic Legion of Decency. The film, along with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and several other films, led to the end of the Production Code in the mid-1960s. It was released by United Artists without the MPAA logo in the credits or title sequence, since the film did not receive Production Code approval.
Tony Curtis is frequently quoted as saying that kissing Marilyn Monroe was like "kissing Hitler." In a 2001 interview with Leonard Maltin, Curtis stated that he never made this claim.
The film's title is a line in the nursery rhyme "Pease Porridge Hot." It also occurs as dialogue in the film when Joe, as "Junior", tells Sugar he prefers classical music over hot jazz. The film's working title was "Not Tonight, Josephine".
Adaptations
In 1972, a musical play based on the screenplay of the film, entitled Sugar, opened on Broadway, starring Elaine Joyce, Robert Morse, Tony Roberts and Cyril Ritchard, with book by Peter Stone, lyrics by Bob Merrill, and (all-new) music by Jule Styne. A 1991 production of this show in London featured Tommy Steele and retained the original title.
In 2002, Tony Curtis performed in a stage production of the film. He portrayed the character originally played by Joe E. Brown.
Awards and honors
The film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, Black-and-White (Orry-Kelly) and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Jack Lemmon), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White, Best Cinematography, Black-and-White, Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.
It won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy. Marilyn Monroe won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in Musical or Comedy, and Jack Lemmon for Best Actor in Musical or Comedy.
The film has been acclaimed worldwide as one of the greatest film comedies ever made. In 1989, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," going in on the first year of voting.
In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted it the eighth greatest comedy film of all time. In 2002, Channel 4 ranked Some Like It Hot as the fifth greatest film ever made in their 100 Greatest Films Poll.

In popular culture
- A scene from the film where Monroe is talking to Curtis in a railway washroom ("My spine turns to custard, I get goose-pimply all over") was used and specially re-edited in a series of popular TV adverts in the UK for Holsten Pils in the early 1990s, featuring Griff Rhys Jones.
- In the Blackadder Goes Forth episode Major Star, Lieutenant George ends up in a similar situation when he is urged to dress as a woman. He looks similar to Daphne, and becomes the romantic persuit of General Melchett.
- In the Johnny Bravo episode "Some Like It Stupid" (the title itself an obvious parody), Johnny and Carl disguise themselves as female beauty pageant contestants and board a bus to escape a mobster. Johnny later falls for a fellow contestant, Norma (who repeats a paraphrase of Monroe's "goose-pimply" line multiple times), and at the end of the episode, every contestant is revealed to be a man.
"Nobody's perfect!"
The film's last line has frequently been parodied:
- In the Torchwood episode "To the Last Man", as "Gwen: He's a frozen soldier from 1918./Jack: [grinning] Nobody's perfect."
- In the film Independence Day, as "Albert Nimzicki: I'm not Jewish./Julius Levinson: Nobody's perfect."

Spurs-Nuggets 108-91 I Duncan 21pts,12reb vs Anthony 16pts
DENVER, December 4,2008(AP) -- Nuggets coach George Karl thinks anger trumps happiness on an NBA basketball court every time. Tony Parker scored 22 points, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili each added 21, and the smarting San Antonio Spurs took advantage of a rare poor performance by Chauncey Billups since he arrived in Denver to whip the Nuggets 108-91 on Thursday night. The Nuggets had won 12 of 15 since acquiring Billups from Detroit in the Allen Iverson trade, including a 132-93 shellacking of Toronto that still had them aglow 48 hours later. The Spurs were still exasperated over their double-digit loss to Detroit this week and their double-digit defeat at the hands of Denver last month when they were short-handed. "To me you had a very angry team, a very mad team and we were a happy team,'' Karl said. "Arrogance, cockiness, happiness, contentment, they're all different, there are very thin lines and tonight we probably thought we were a little bit better than we were and we got embarrassed. Not embarrassed, but we got beat.'' Billups, the former University of Colorado star, had enjoyed a wonderful homecoming up to this point, helping the franchise get off to its best start since the 1976-77 team behind David Thompson won 13 of its first 19. "It was a pretty good bounce-back,'' Ginobili said. And a pretty hard fall for the Nuggets, who have been better in all areas since Billups' arrival, putting a constant smile across Karl's face after several years of consternation with a high-priced roster that lacked a pure point guard. Not on this night. Denver's dismal showing came just 48 hours after a 39-point blowout of Toronto, an embarrassment that served as the last straw in Sam Mitchell's tenure as Raptors coach. Karl lamented the firing long and hard before Thursday's tip-off. After routing the Raptors, Billups declared it was just one of those games where everything worked: "Throughout the season you usually get two or three of those games,'' he said. "Unfortunately, you usually get two or three on the other side, those games where nothing really works.'' And this game was certainly one of those. "I might have talked it up on us, I don't know,'' Billups said Thursday. "That was an ugly game. Games like that you have to wash them off in the shower and just forget about them as soon as possible. They picked us apart. They just outplayed us all over the place.'' One game after doling out 37 assists, the Nuggets handed out just 19. And they missed 40 percent of their free throws while San Antonio was going 17-of-18 from the stripe. In the first half, Billups scored just 3 points on 1-of-7 shooting and he doled out but a single assist. Billups scored nine points in the irrelevant fourth quarter to finish with 12. Carmelo Anthony led Denver with 16, and J.R. Smith had 15 points and 10 boards off the bench. The Spurs shot 56 percent, racing out to a 61-41 halftime lead that put this one in the win column early - not a single time in their history have the Nuggets overcome a deficit of 20 or more points. "I'll tell you what, that first half was one of the best shooting halves I've seen in a long, long time,'' Billups said. "We made some rotations. They made some great shots. We were down 20 against the half against a team that is going to play slow enough that they don't let you get on too many runs. So, it's tough to get down 20 to a team like that and be able to come back.'' The Nuggets (55 percent) and Spurs (58 percent) were both hot in the first quarter but Denver started out the second quarter by missing 10 of 12 shots while the Spurs were still sinking most of their shots. "I think as a team we played some of our best basketball,'' Duncan said. "We were a lot more consistent defensively. In the second half they were a lot more aggressive getting to the rim. There was a stretch there where we were fouling people too much, but other than that, consistently throughout the game we played well, we moved the ball well and Manu and Tony scored some points.'' Reserve George Hill scored seven points in a 15-2 run San Antonio used to take control at 47-33 with six minutes left in the first half, and Denver never recovered. "We're just trying to right our ship right now; it doesn't matter who we play,'' Duncan said after the Spurs snapped a two-game skid and improved to 10-8. "We're trying to get ourselves right. To get a win here against a team that's playing very good makes us feel we're back on track.'' Notes: Parker and Ginobili both missed the Spurs' 91-81 loss to the Nuggets in San Antonio on Nov. 19.

1FULL Tecmo Bowl Kickoff GAME FOR DOWNLOAD
http://deivix.shrconsole.hop.clickbank.net/?q=Tecmo%20Bowl%20Kickoff Nostalgia can only take you so far. Such is the case with Tecmo Bowl Kickoff, an attempt to remake the superlative Tecmo Super Bowl on the Nintendo DS. Developer Polygon Magic should be given credit for successfully translating Tecmo Bowl's singular style of gridiron action to the DS, adding stylus control while maintaining the classic arcade football gameplay. But a lackluster season mode, the lack of any true star players (fictional or licensed), and one of the worst menu systems in years keep Tecmo Bowl Kickoff from reaching the hall-of-fame status of its hallowed predecessors. Without the NFL license, Tecmo created a fictional league of two conferences, six divisions, and 32 teams with porn-star-worthy names such as the New York Hardknocks and the Los Angeles Supercocks. Thankfully, those can be immediately changed using a customization tool with which you can change team colors, logos, player names, and team cities. Well, "immediately" may be the wrong word here, given that the cryptic menu system will have you pushing the OK button seven times to confirm any changes, which may or may not actually be made. But with some dedication, you can eventually re-create the entire NFL, complete with stars of Tecmo past such as Barry Sanders and Mike Singletary. Of course, you're changing only the names here, and when you get on the field, you'll begin to notice a lack of any true star players. Whereas Bo Jackson was single-handedly able to ruin your perfect season in the original Tecmo Bowl and is currently enshrined as the greatest video game athlete of our time, the fictional players on this roster all begin with such abysmal ratings that you'll feel as if your team consists of 11 junior-college punters. The game is not slow, per se, but you'll have to heavily upgrade your players before the game speed resembles anything close to Tecmo Super Bowl, and that takes multiple seasons. Given that the computer players don't seem to distribute any upgrade points themselves, your team will then dominate the league. Indeed, it's conceivable that you might never lose to a computer-controlled opponent. On the field, the action is pure Tecmo Bowl, and any fan of the original will instantly get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Teams have eight offensive plays, four rushing and four passing, and a playbook editor lets you pop in a flea-flicker or play-action. If you're feeling particularly nasty, you can edit other team's playbooks as well so that all running plays will be right sweeps, for example, though we do not condone such chicanery. Instead of pressing a dedicated button to pass to a specific receiver, you press A to cycle through intended targets, and B to throw. The stylus control works surprisingly well for passing. You drag the stylus to move the quarterback and tap a receiver to throw, much simpler than cycling through players while under pressure. On defense, however, the stylus doesn't let you dive at ball carriers, which is a big problem because the diving tackle is the only surefire method to take down a player. Despite the development team having years to do so, some of the same foibles that plagued the original Tecmo Bowl gameplay have yet to be corrected. Players will get credit for a catch or interception even when they are clearly out of bounds. Aggressive nose tackles can run right through the offensive line for easy sacks. And defensive backs will outrun the ball in the air to make an interception. Gameplay has been slightly tweaked to encourage a more defensive game. As a quarterback, you need to have an unobstructed line of sight to an open receiver or defenders will most likely bat your pass to the turf. Additionally, 100-yard bombs from Dan Marino or John Elway have been removed, and receivers on a streak pattern will simply stop when the ball is thrown and wait for it to arrive. The only true gameplay addition is the application of super abilities to your players. As you play, you earn points that can be used to purchase traits such as hot potato (QB will evade a sack and pass to a player in close proximity) or vertical boost (jump higher to catch a ball). Problem is, the abilities mostly activate at random, and you have very little control over when you would like to unleash a power-run ability, for example. They are shown off in slick double-screen cutscenes, but not being able to control the timing of these moves takes away most of the fun. Tecmo's trademark cutscenes, a collage of leaping bear hugs and 1980s-style high fives, make a triumphant return, and they are bright and vivid on the DS. The top screen is used only as a scoreboard, though it never tells you what yard line you are on, a significant problem if you are at the edge of field-goal range. The touch screen is used for play calling and general gameplay, and players look, move, and feel like those of classic Tecmo Bowl games.
