Original Photo Still #SL(512)PUB-12
An original 1959 United Artists candid black & white publicity still from Billy Wilder’s immortal comedy Some Like It Hot, featuring Jack Lemmon in drag as Daphne with Marilyn Monroe as Sugar Kane. This wonderful image captures the essence of the film’s comedic and cultural brilliance where glamour meets farce, as Monroe’s irresistible warmth contrasts perfectly with Lemmon’s hilarious awkwardness.
This publicity still was intended for newspaper and magazine promotion at the time of release.
Released in 1959, Some Like It Hot is widely considered one of the greatest comedies ever made, blending sharp wit, gender disguise, and sexual politics in a way that was decades ahead of its time. Directed by Billy Wilder, the film not only showcased Monroe’s most iconic performance but also gave Lemmon and Tony Curtis career-defining roles. Its subversive humor and playful treatment of identity broke taboos in postwar America and helped pave the way for modern romantic comedies.
