Tony Curtis starring in Some Like It Hot

THE PLOT

      When two itinerant musicians Joe and Jerry, accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, they flee Chicago on a southbound train to Miami under the guise of Josephine and Daphne, the two newest and homeliest members of an all girl jazz band.

      Spats Palazza, having exhausted his search for his two witnesses in Chicago, also decides to go to Miami and boards the same train as the band. In an elaborate series of gender bending ruses, both Joe and Jerry fall in love with Sugar Kane, the band's singer. In Miami, Osgood Fielding, an eccentric marrying-millionaire, falls in love and proposes marriage to Daphne. Joe disguises himself as an heir to Shell Oil to pursue Sugar. The gangsters, having discovered their true identity, are in hot pursuit of our heroes, who need to escape quickly.

      Daphne agrees to accept Osgood's proposal, with Josephine going along as the maid-of-honor. When Joe reveals his true identity to Sugar, she realizes she is still smitten and joins them on Osgood's yacht.

      Despite all Jerry's protestations against Osgood, including he's not a natural blonde, he has a terrible past and for three years he's been living with a saxophone player, he can never have children and then finally revealing the fact that he is a man, the show ends with Joe E. Brown's famous punch line, "Well nobody's perfect..."

...and a superb musical and dance finale of "Some Like It Hot" with the entire cast.
