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

Pictures like this, with a sense of humor that is as broad as it can be sophisticated, come along only infrequently.

In many ways, the ultimate Billy Wilder film -- replete with breathless pacing, transvestite humor, and unflinching cynicism.

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.
