Twists on Classic Cinema: Interview with Hope Thompson

Billy Wilder’s campy comedy classic, Some Like It Hot, is screening July 25th to close the Corktown Common series of Toronto Outdoor Picture Show’s summer long Dynamic Duos programme. The film follows musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) who disguise themselves as women, Josephine and Daphne, after witnessing a group of gangsters commit a massacre. Paired with Some Like It Hot is the short film Switch, which follows an affair between two women working as switchboard operators in Toronto in the 1940s. In film noir style, their story includes twists, turns, and murder.
