There was a movie in the early 90s that featured a mummy, some soul shenanigans, the guy who directed a movie called The Bitch, an adaptation of a Poe story, one of the Go Go Boys, and yes, Tony Curtis as an Egyptian. This is 1993's The Mummy Lives.

Film Study: ‘Some Like It Hot’ and some just like to don drag now and then
With trans visibility top of mind in the age of DEIs and today’s broader-minded broadcast audience, Cream takes a look at the films that celebrated androgyny and diversity way back when most of us were just kids.
Rohan Stephens brings you the best movies that must make it onto your streaming lists… that is if you haven’t seen them already. Heck, even if you have seen them, book these flicks in for a second, third, even fourth viewing. These are the classics that have made cinematic history, and Rohan tells you why.
This week’s pick: Billy Wilder directing Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot.
Arriving August 1.
SOME LIKE IT HOT, 1959. Dir., Billy Wilder.
What is it?
Before there was Priscilla, before To Wong Foo and The Birdcage, there was Some Like It Hot. Although the film itself has its own significance for being one of the finer performances of Marilyn Monroe’s short career, there is a whole other level of importance to it due to it being one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to feature leading characters in drag.
Directed by Billy Wilder and staring Monroe, Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis, the movie follows struggling musicians Joe (Curtis) and Jerry (Lemon) as they flee Chicago after witnessing a mob murder. After managing to secure a gig in a travelling band that will take them far enough away to avoid trouble, they are told the job asks for female musicians only, so are forced to go under cover as ‘Josephine’ and ‘Daphne’ in order to hold onto the positions. ‘Sugar’, Monroe’s character, plays the part of one of the band’s more wayward members: drinking, showing up late and missing performances, but who eventually falls in love with Joe after he pursues her… discreetly out of drag.
Riddled with production delays and infighting between its stars – all said to have been caused by Monroe’s increasing dependency on prescription drugs – the film went on to become a critical and commercial success, winning Monroe her first and only Golden Globe.
Adding to film’s status as a precursor of queer cinema, Billy Wilder famously employed legendary female impersonator Babette to assist with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon’s drag personae. Babette, a Texan native, had achieved extraordinary success in Europe in the early 1930s as a trapeze artist in vaudeville shows, performing high-wire acts in full drag, and going on to consult for the film industry later in life.
The film was released without approval or review by the Motion Picture Production Code, which was the body that regulated the strict moral codes for the US film industry between 1930 and 1968. Wilder gambled that despite the film’s allusion to ‘homosexual themes’ it would still prove popular with audiences and hence bypassed the system with which it would normally have been classified and subsequently censored.
Riddled with production delays and infighting between its stars – all said to have been caused by Monroe’s increasing dependency on prescription drugs – the film went on to become a critical and commercial success, winning Monroe her first and only Golden Globe.
Why should I have already seen it?
The movie is often cited as one of the greatest comedies of all time, and to this day holds a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from over 80,000 user ratings. It was also one of the first films to ever be selected for the US National Film Registry, which archives and preserves motion pictures of historical and cultural importance. The films enduring appeal is in the self-aware, campiness of the performances by three legendary actors. Monroe who, by this stage had finally achieved critical acclaim in films that cast her in roles that weren’t just the blonde damsels, like Niagara (1953) and River of No Return (1954) and Tony Curtis, who audiences were used to seeing as the strong handsome lead in westerns and crime dramas such as The Defiant Ones (1958), were suddenly playing up to, if not challenging, their images as sex symbols and macho action heroes.
Some Like It Hot was, and still is, incredibly funny with everything you would expect from a comedy from this era. It’s got great musical numbers, least of which is Monroe crooning I Wanna Be Loved By You in a barely-there, crystal-studded gown. It boasts over-the-top acting, great costumes and a sweet ending. What more do you need?

Апокриф: на съёмках «Некоторых любящих погорячее» Тони Кёртис был так недоволен поведением Мэрилин Монро, что экранный поцелуй с ней назвал поцелуем с Адольфом Хитлером. Интересно, слышал ли эту байку Влад Мамышев-Монро, у него же на противопоставлении госпо:жей Монро и Хитлера строилась вся вселенная образов. ⦾ https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2026/06/01/art-marilyn-monroe-100-birthday/ #TonyCurtis #MarilynMonroe #SomeLikeItHot #MamyshevMonroe #queerartists

Ein Moment, in dem das Kino seine ganze eigene Geschichte neu überschrieben hat: Dieser Film gehört ganz ohne Zweifel zu den ganz seltenen Fällen. Er ist noch immer ein Monument. Aber auch eines, das immer noch unter seiner Oberfläche brodelt. Kein sauberer Sandalenfilm, sondern ein hochpolitischer Kommentar. Einer, der unter der Last seiner eigenen Entstehungsgeschichte fast zerbrochen ist und genau daraus noch immer seine ganze Wucht zieht. Mit Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Jean Simmons, Peter Ustinov und Laurence Olivier. (ARTE, Wh.)

🍿 Sweet Smell of Success (1957) is a noir starring Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster as a press agent and gossip columnist respectively. Both men play god - and find themselves in their own personal hell. A favourite of Martin Scorsese’s. Currently included with Amazon Prime in the U.K.

Caught up on some retro film & TV over Xmas, amazing to see a middle-aged Tony Curtis doing what looks like pretty dangerous stunt work himself! The shots where you can see his face are him, and this is pre-CGI so there aren't any safety wires or crash mats being hidden. Insurance etc would never allow this today 😱
Curtis wasn't particularly known as an action hero, but in his younger days he was in a film about a trapeze artist, perhaps he picked up some skills there and kept in shape?
(This clip is from a series called "The Persuaders" from 1971)

#Iwatched #Tootsie (1982) a movie about NYC actors, playing actors and one actress. It's quite meta. #DustinHoffman has to pretend being a woman to get a job, much like #TonyCurtis and #JackLemmon did. But this takes a closer look at the relationships touched by the charade and women's lib (which we always suspected just needed a man to do right). The scenes with #BillMurray are a highlight, other than that it's very busy with itself.
THE MANITOU (1978) was in constant TV circulation when I was a kid, to the extent that I misremembered it as a made-for-TV movie (which it ain't). Having revisited it this weekend as an adult, it feels like a) a weird career move for Tony Curtis, no matter what drugs he may have been ingesting, b) a bummer for Susan Strasberg, who gets to do essentially nothing, and c) a nice showcase for (occasional Klingon) Michael Ansara. The San Francisco setting is pleasant. #1970s #Horror #Movies #OldMovies #TonyCurtis
