To just the technical info above, this DVD (both the special edition and movie-only edition) DOES HAVE an English monophonic soundtrack that was originally extinct in the film. Also included is a Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but one wonders if a dialog-heavy film like this should really need a surround soundtrack. Dialogs in both the mono and the 5.1 tracks sound perfectly determined and understable. The surround sound only comes into spend during the occasional music and gunfight sequences. I do applaud the inclusion of the modern mono track, which quite a few unique DVDs of older movies do not provide in the hope of enticing novel DVD owners with 5.1 audio.The video transfer looks large — images are exciting, levels of dim notice realistic (you can clearly scrutinize and feel the velvety texture of a murky robe Monroe wears), signs of wear and stir are virtually non-existent. The portray aspect ratio is 1.66:1, which is not the 1:85:1 ratio former for the new US theatrical release and for all previous US letterboxed laserdisc releases. The 1.66:1 ratio adds a petite recount to the top, but doesn’t really affect the composition. The video is also non-anamorphic, so the resolution is not as high on a widescreen TV as it would be with an anamorphic DVD. There is also no English optional subtitles, but there are yellow optional French and Spanish ones.I would have gladly paid a higher sign if they had included better supplementary material on the Special Edition DVD, such as the audio commentary and home movies that were set on the Criterion laserdisc made in the early 90s. The extras on the Special Edition DVD include a attractive but superficial 30-minute recent interview with Tony Curtis reminiscing about the film, a rather listless 12-minute interview with the actresses who played the girl band members, a segment called “Virtual Hall of Memories” that is essentially a calm gallery, and trailers of 7 Wilder films including SOME LIKE IT HOT; all the trailers are in unpleasant video condition. The most spirited extra is a reproduction of a pressbook for the film, but the pictures are blurry and the smaller text is illegible. I am disappointed that we never score to hear from Jack Lemmon or Billy Wilder, both unruffled alive, on this DVD. These extras are not impressive, so one may think buying the movie-only edition for a cheaper brand.
Billy Wilder’s most well-liked comedy finally receives the deluxe treatment it deserves. MGM previously released this classic comedy in a nonanamorphic widescreen version a couple of years benefit. While that edition looked stunning decent this anamorphic transfer puts any previous editions (including my worthy favored laserdisc edition) to shame. Wilder’s comedy operates as a spoof of gangster films and a comedy about gender roles. Jerry (the slow Jack Lemmon) and Joe (Tony Curtis) are two musicians on the lam when they glance the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. With Spats Columobo (George Raft) and his men looking for the duo they go undercover as musicians outrageous dressing and joining an all female band headed for a gig in Florida. Becoming a woman allows Joe/Josephine to spent time with Sugar (Marilyn Monroe) the latest woman that catches Joe’s like. Jerry/Daphne on the other hand finds himself romanced by a rich man (Joe E. Brown) who won’t hold the hint as Jerry tries to blow off his advances.

And you conception the 50’s were tame. One of Wilder’s richest 50’s comedies “Some Like It Hot” continues to be very amusing inverting our expectations constantly and playing with the roles that Jerry and Joe recall on with their current identities. Joe’s eyes initiate the most as before he was a beautiful ruthless womanizer. Becoming a woman puts him in the crosshairs of every male insight and he’s on the receiving raze of all the smirks, comments and passes that he would have outmoded with Sugar before his change. Wilder mixes social commentary so deftly with comedy (like Hitchcock’s work with suspense and social commentary) that at his best–and he’s at his best here–it reminds us how enthralling a movie can be without being heavy handed. It’s also filled with some agreeable in jokes (for example Colombo played by George Raft observes a thug flipping a coin and comments, “Where did you buy up that cheap trick? ” Raft of course did the loyal thing in one of his signature roles in “Scarface” from 1932) .
A mammoth movie looks even better in this engaging looking transfer. The dismal and white imagery of the film looks stunning. Originally Marilyn Monroe lobbied to have the film shot in color which Billy Wilder felt wouldn’t work for this comedy (he persuaded her to agree to shoot in shaded and white when he showed her develop up tests for Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in color where their obtain up as women made them peek slightly green) while the film certainly would have looked ample in color the sumptuous cinematography by Charles Lang (”The Graceful Seven”, “Wait Until Dim”) looks extremely edifying in this improbable looking transfer. Detail is quite salubrious and blacks are solid with a nice array of different textures evident in the transfer. Audio is presented in the novel mono and sounds radiant.

For those that are into such things the special features here are a spacious improvement over the previous edition. We procure a commentary track compiled from comments by the gradual Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and I.A.L. Diamond’s son (working with the comedy writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel–honestly I could have belief of better writers to pair with Diamond’s son) . While the insights aren’t exactly a revelation it is an appetizing commentary track.
We also find two terrific documentaries on the making of the film. The first features a mixture of unusual and older interviews from the cast and crew. The second documentary “The Legacy of `Some Like it Hot’” is packed with trivia about the making of the film, Wilder & Monroe’s relationship on the position and the difficult time Wilder had making the film with his leading lady including footage shot in the 80’s of Wilder and Diamond.
Finally we accumulate “Memories from the Sweet Sues” featurette with members of the women who played in the band, an interview with Tony Curtis entitled “Nostalgic Inspect Assist” where Curtis reveals that actor/voice artist Paul Frees did powerful of his dispute as Josephine because he had pains reaching the high sing. We also gather the imaginatively titled but unimpressive “Virtual Hall of Memories 3-D Tour” The fresh pressbook appears on the DVD as well and we acquire reproductions of various lobby cards. Finally we find previews and the new theatrical trailer.
Far more impressive than the lackluster previous DVD releases “Some Like It Hot” looks solid in this re-release although the film could notice a bit more vibrant. The featurettes are, for the most allotment, very proper and the compiled commentary track adds loads of trivia (some of which is duplicated in the featurettes) about the making of the film. I do wish that a film historian such as UCLA professor Howard Suber had been keen in some map to befriend provide context for the movie but that’s honest personal preference. A radiant release that could have been enormous with a wee bit more worry on the allotment of Sony/MGM.
