This is an AUTHENTIC HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL RARE Vintage 8"x 10" BW photo of actor TONY CURTIS in the film "SOME LIKE IT HOT" featuring his autograph. Some Like It Hot is a 1959 American crime comedy film directed, produced & co-written by Billy Wilder. It stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon, with George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown, Joan Shawlee & Nehemiah Persoff in supporting roles. The screenplay by Wilder & I. A. L. Diamond is based on a screenplay by Robert Thoeren & Michael Logan from the 1935 French film Fanfare of Love. The film is about two musicians who disguise themselves by dressing as women to escape from mafia gangsters whom they witnessed committing a crime. Some Like It Hot opened to critical & commercial success & is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Director & Best Adapted Screenplay, winning for Best Costume Design. in 1989, the Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film was produced without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code), because it features LGBT-related themes, including cross-dressing. The code had been gradually weakening in its scope since the early 1950s, due to greater social tolerance for taboo topics in film, but it was enforced until the mid-1960s. The overwhelming success of Some Like It Hot is considered one of the reasons behind the retirement of the Hays Code.
