The American Film Institute called Some Like it Hot the greatest film comedy ever made.
It's a tale of two musicians on the run from the mob, hiding out in an all-girl band ...
and when it first hit theaters, audiences weren't ready.
Coming at the tail end of the conservative 1950s, the movie made a mockery of uptight American attitudes about sex.
But even more shocking than the movie's premise were the backstage feuds, secret affairs, and a blonde bombshell with a more sophisticated strategy than anyone expected.
This is the story of Some Like it Hot -- the comedy that nearly everyone said could never be made, and that helped bring the most powerful men in Hollywood to their knees.
