Curtis's writing in this memoir of Billy Wilder's 1959 comic masterpiece is staccato, repetitive and occasionally baffling. But even if the voice is a little insane…it suits the edgy, emotionally charged set of "Some Like It Hot" perfectly…[Curtis's] book (written with Mark A. Vieira) may be more feverish than fluent, but it's a wonderful tribute to one of the funniest movies ever made.
The New York Times
Some Like It Hot occupies a unique place in American culture. This beloved classic showcases five comic geniuses: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, I. A. L. Diamond, Billy Wilder, and Marilyn Monroe. It has been honored by the American Film Institute as the "funniest film of all time." It has contributed quotes, styles, and stories to film lore. Yet the full story of its making has never been told-until now.
