Pageturners adds Movie Classics with Some Like It Hot on May 28

     Pageturners, Schoolcraft College’s on campus book club for students, faculty, staff and the community, is launching a new program: Pageturners Movie Classics. Every month Pageturners will travel back in time to experience the timeless classics of cinema. The focus will be on films made 20 or more years ago.

     The first Movie Classic to be featured is Some Like It Hot (1959) starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe. Directed by Billy Wilder, this movie tells the story of two musicians in 1920s Chicago who witness the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. In order to escape the wrath of a gangland chief, they disguise themselves as women and join an all-female band headed for Florida.

     Some Like It Hot will be shown on Thursday, May 28 at 6 p.m. in the McDowell Center room 200.
