Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Some Like It Hot does cool off considerably now and again, but Mr. Wilder and his carefree clowns keep it crackling and funny most of the time.
– A.H. Weiler,

fresh:
One of Wilder's funniest satires.
– Derek Adams,

– Dave Kehr,

The Great American Comedy (if you discount the Marx Brothers).
