A good movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I might rewatch it at some point. The first time I saw it, I must have been a teenager and, even though I did like it, I can’t say it really blew me away. I mean, sure, it was a decent comedy but there was nothing really amazing about the whole thing, at least, that’s my opinion. I believe this movie got a legendary status above all for the famous scene involving Marilyn Monroe's dress blowing up around her legs but pretty much like in ‘Some like it hot’, Marilyn Monroe looked positively charming but, honestly, her character was rather moronic and obnoxious. Therefore, I had a hard time to really care for the whole thing. On top of that, it does feel rather dated nowadays. Considering Billy Wilder’s work, after watching 8 of his movies, I came to the conclusion that I enjoyed much more his dramas (‘Sunset Blvd.’, Stalag 17’, ‘Witness for the Prosecution’) than his comedies (‘Some Like It Hot’, ‘The Apartment’, ‘Sabrina’). Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it is still a decent comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
