Nobody's perfect, but Billy Wilder's transvestite farce comes awfully close. Monroe's and Lemmon's finest two hours, and Curtis chips in a brutal Cary Grant impression. Never seen it? What are you waiting for? EXTRAS Some Like It Hot: Collector's Edition, a two-disc extravaganza is a genial, repetitive stitch job, with '80s-era Lemmon and Wilder interviews mixed with recent Curtis Q&A's in two featurettes and a commentary. But the reunion of Sweet Sue musicians is sweet, and who knew the guy who dubbed Curtis' ''female'' voice was also Boris Badenov? A- (The film, of course, is an A.)
