The film that holds the top spot on the American Film Institute’s list of the funniest American movies of all time will return to select cinemas nationwide for two days only on Sunday, June 11, and Wednesday, June 14, at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Turner Classic Movies and Fathom Events will present the screenings of “Some Like It Hot” (1959) along with specially produced commentary from TCM host Tiffany Vazquez before and after the film.

Billy Wilder’s beloved comedy is about two jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who find themselves on the run after they inadvertently witness a gangland murder. With no money and nowhere to hide, the two masquerade as members of an all-girl band, leading to a number of romantic complications when one falls for the band’s lead singer played by Marilyn Monroe in one of her most iconic roles.

Participating theaters in our neck of the woods include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas and Island 16 Cinema de Lux in Holtsville. For more information or to purchase your tickets in advance, visit www.fathomevents.com.
