Abstract
The film made in 1959, "Some Like It Hot," focused on two jazz musicians Joe and Jerry who after a confrontation with the mob, escape by masquerading as women in an all-female band. The film as a whole, with an emphasis on men masquerading as women, was deemed controversial but through the power of farce, comedy outweighed its more negative perception making it the iconic movie that it is still today.
