Some Like It Hot, 1959

Transgressive is the word that kept popping in my head during this movie, followed by, "Could they really do that back then?" The scenes of Jack Lemmon with the maracas were jarring even for a kid raised on Almodovar. Though Billy Wilder drools over Marilyn Monroe like any lech of the era, as in "The Apartment," he shows a genuine compassion for women of the day stuck playing princess to capture a husband. And if you want something lite, it's funny, with great music.
