Director's Notes:

Movies in the 30’s, as we take a look back, became a Golden Age of musicals, gangster films and screwball comedies, just to name a few of the genres. With Some Like It Hot made in 1959, the classic sex farce, with it's gender bender plot of mistaken identities, reached new heights and found its way into the hearts of millions. The story takes place during Prohibition on the eve of The Great Depression and the night of The St.Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929. Our heroes, Joe and Jerry, make their escape from the Chicago bloodbath by means of a cross dressing scheme that takes them right into the arms of Sugar Kowalczyk, the lead singer of Sweet Sue And Her Society Syncopaters. Disguised as women, they compete for her favor and the plot twists “Shakespearian” with the ardent attentions of a millionaire yachtsman Osgood Fielding for Jerry's female persona in Daphne. All of this chaos spins and whirls like a vortex around a core of needing, not only escape and rescue but...well, love. The different kinds of love and the different ways it can be found. Just when you least expect it.  --Jim Corti
