Some like it cold, but still love public heating day

2025-11-13 08:40

Some like it cold. It's akin to the lesser-known sequel to the Marilyn Monroe (1926-62) classic Some Like It Hot (1959). Personally, I'm a huge fan of both the cold and the late-50s blockbuster. Who could forget the instant classic when Jack Lemmon's cross-dressing character Daphne leaves old-money aging tycoon Osgood Fielding III (Joe E.Brown) smitten? In the film's final scene, the two are on the rich old man's yacht when Osgood explains to his love interest that his mother wants "her" to wear his mom's wedding dress when the two get hitched. Daphne, knowing her goose is cooked, begins running through a list of excuses why she can't wed Osgood, but he dismisses them one after another. Out of sheer desperation, Daphne removes his wig and confesses, "You don't understand Osgood; I'm a man!" The senior tycoon simply smiles and says, "Well, nobody's perfect."
