In early 1958 legendary director Billy Wilder offered Tony Curtis
the chance to star in a new picture. The movie was to be called
Some Like It Hot; it went on to become one of the best-loved films
of all time. Now, fifty years on from its first release, this is
the true story of what really went on behind-the-scenes during the
making of the funniest movie of all time, told by one of its
leading ¿ladies¿. For the first time, Tony Curtis shares the many
as-yet-untold secrets from the set in his own inimitable voice. He
speaks frankly about his working relationship with Jack Lemmon and
Billy Wilder, as well as his romance with Marilyn Monroe. Here too
is the truth behind Monroe¿s erratic behaviour, which almost
scuppered the production. Featuring many rarely seen photographs
from his private collection and numerous personal anecdotes, this
is an insider¿s account of the making of a Hollywood classic.
