Day 8 Favourite Male Co-Star: Jack Lemmon, Some Like It Hot (1959)
This was between Tom Ewell, Clark Gable and Dean Martin but I had to go with Jack Lemmon. For me personally, I feel Jack outshines Tony Curtis by miles in the film, although his performance is also wonderful. Marilyn and Jack’s performances just work so well and make the film forever memorable. I think Jack is so good in the film that he (almost!) outshines Marilyn, and that’s saying something! I wish Marilyn and Jack would of had the chance to work together again as I think they would of been wonderful. On working with Marilyn Jack said, “Marilyn had incredible charisma that was so rare, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it. She had a lot of talent as an actress and she used that talent to the best of her ability as well as her skills as a comedienne, which worked out marvellously for her as with that combined, she created that certain magic on film. I loved working with her and a lot of people say that is clear in our scenes together. I absolutely adored her and we got on wonderfully.”
