533: Confiscate the Trumpeter's Mute

Our Old Movie Club takes on two Billy Wilder comedies from 1939 and 1959, to see if they still hold up 81 and 61 years later. Erika Ensign’s selection is “Midnight,” starring Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche, and Philip Michaels counters with “Some Like It Hot,” starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Both films are about people pretending to be something they aren’t. And then the fun begins… hopefully!

"Midnight" (1939) and "Some Like It Hot" (1959)

Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Philip Michaels, Tiff Arment and Steve Lutz
