IMDb profile |
Some Like It Hot is a 1939 comedy film starring Bob Hope, Shirley Ross, and Gene Krupa. The movie was directed by George Archainbaud and released the year before Road to Singapore converted theatre and radio star Hope into a huge movie box office draw. The film was reissued as Rhythm Romance.
Aside from the title, taken from a nursery rhyme, this film bears no relation to the 1959 comedy starring Marilyn Monroe released two decades later.
