Funny and cheeky comedy

In 1959, during the premiership Some people like it hotNo one could have imagined such a huge success. At that time, the director’s wife Audrey Wilder even confided: “It was a disaster. It happened in a small cinema and nobody laughed except a few friends. In fact the audience didn’t know how to react, whether they could laugh or not.”

And while everyone was expecting a monumental drop, Westwood’s second show created a general surprise: “The audience laughed so much that we couldn’t understand the dialogue anymore”. The result, the scene where Jack Lemmon The announcement that he was “engaged” was shot a second time, at a slower pace.
