The article says of the film's critical reception, "Some Like it Hot received widespread critical acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes reports a score of 98% out of 100, with an average score of 8.9 out of 10. Roger Ebert says ..." Rotten Tomatoes and Roger Ebert are what critics today are saying, as it is now unquestioningly regarded as a great film. But the view of most major papers and magazines at the times were very negative, and the film made some "Worst Ten" lists. That info should be included in the section. -- 67.180.44.133 ( talk) 07:39, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
The current article is too timid, with no mention at all of Monroe's barely-there dress!
Some Like it Hot—Just Not in Kansas
March 29th, 2011 | Author: Rachel Chambers
Talk about attention-grabbing fashion. When Some Like It Hot was released on this day in 1959, the Orry-Kelly costumes offended so many puritan moviegoers that it prompted a statewide ban in Kansas and an “adult entertainment” restriction in Memphis, Tennessee. The reason? The film’s plot is centered around the taboo of two men cross-dressing, and star Marilyn Monroe wears a dress that is so revealing that it stops just short of granting the actress her first nude scene.

In 2002, Channel 4 ranked Some Like It Hot as the fifth greatest film ever made in their 100 Greatest Films Poll.

We have been given the task of editing the page for an assignment at university, and just wanted to keep everyone updated on the areas that we are thinking of adjusting. While the work already on the page is already excellent, our main goal is to add some more accademic references to back up some of the points as a lot of them have a lot of detail but no references to back these points up.
We are also going to add some more information on Casting, the Screenwriting proccess, Critical Reception, some more Production information and a section on Pop Culture. We only have 500 words to use for this so that changes won't be too drastic! Please let us know if there is anything that we're doing not quite right as we're very new at this and want to make sure that we're doing a good job. -- Gracesimone ( talk) 13:34, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
The article lacks information on the actual filming of the movie. There's not even one mention of the Hotel del Coronado, where almost half the movie takes place. There must be sources available to flesh out the production section some more. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 05:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

The last sentence of the intro states that the movie was the final nail in the coffin for the Hays Code; then there's the inline citation.
Well, I went to the source and NOWHERE in the article does it say or state "final nail in the coffin." It does say that the movie WEAKENED the code.
I also have a problem with this source since it comes across to me as ONE PERSON'S OPINION, not as a documented fact!
And, if it was the "final nail," why did NINE YEARS GO BY before the Code was replaced? Typically, "final nail" means something new or a replacement is nearly immediately put into place. Maybe I'm strange, but I don't consider NINE YEARS to be immediate.
As such, I think that sentence should either be deleted or re-written. 2600:8800:787:F500:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 ( talk) 09:50, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
At the end of the movie, when everyone is getting away, Jack Lemmon's character -- Jerry dressed in drag as "Daphne" -- ends up in a speed boat with Joe E. Brown's character -- Osgood Fielding III. Osgood has been 'chasing' after "Daphne" in his attempt to woo 'her.' At this point in the movie, Jerry has become fed up with Osgood thinking he (Jerry) is a she ("Daphne") and pulls off the wig and says something like, "I'm not a girl, I'm a man!" -- someone can get exact quote from the movie -- to which Osgood replies, "Well, no one's perfect" as he ogles Jerry/"Daphne" and Jerry/"Daphne" does a double-take.
To me, this is an homage to an earlier Joe E. Brown movie, 1934's "The Circus Clown" (also a comedy). In it, Joe plays a boy -- Happy Howard -- who wants to join the circus like his father did, but his father won't hear of it. Happy runs away and joins one anyway. Happy falls in "love" with 'Millie,' a bareback rider. But unbeknownst to Happy, 'Millie' is actually a female impersonator ! !
Granted, in Hot "Daphne" tries to dissuade Osgood, while in Clown 'Millie' encourages Happy as a fun joke.
I just find it very interesting that Joe E. Brown played two characters that fell in love with men dressed as women in roles 25 years apart.
Is this mention-worthy enough for the article or just a unique coincidence that has no place in the article?
I leave it up to all of you to discuss.

Sebastian James, BRD is not mandatory but as you have invoked it it is incumbent upon you to abide by its provisions. You made a BOLD edit, you were REVERTED, it is now for you to DISCUSS the change you want to make - it is NOT for you to repeat your bold edit and instruct others to discuss. I have reverted to the status quo in order that the BRD you invoked can take proper course and you may initiate discussion here on the talk page as to why you want the sourced, relevant, and significant material removed. Please do NOT transgress the process you have called for by again removing the material, that could be construed as edit warring. Captainllama ( talk) 04:40, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, reviewing the situation, I understand why it seems like that title should be italicized. However, the title here is the title of the BFI article, and such article titles can be in sentence-case. It does seem odd to quote the title that way in the Wikipedia article. Since the list does not have a formal title that warrants title-case, the wording in Wikipedia can simply be paraphrased? Like, "The British Film Institute listed Some Like It Hot among the top 50 films for children ages 14 and under"? Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 13:12, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

@ Randy Kryn Explain, rather than keep reverting with non-explanatory summaries, why a drive-in ad image is relevant to the film's "plot" and/or "cast" section, and why an image described as "Marilyn Monroe from the film's trailer" (as if that scene is just in the trailer) is relevant to the "critical reception" section. Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative. They should provide important explanatory aid to understanding the section to which they are linked. ภץאคгöร 15:12, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
