Backlots is a labor of love, and bringing this kind of content to our readers does incur costs–the yearly price of the domain, travel for all the events we cover, and everything else that is necessary to bring you the best of classic film on the web. Ad revenue brings in a meager amount, but doesn’t begin to cover the costs associated with a site like this. If you like what you see and have a few extra cents to spare, any amount, no matter how small, helps immensely and is deeply appreciated.

Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson in "Mrs. Miniver."
The ending of “Some Like it Hot” is one of the best – Jack Lemmon’s lines and the way he played them – Joe E. Brown’s wonderful last line – and that final bit of tango music to add an exclamation point – brilliant. One of the great comedies of all time.
Perfect! Some like it Hot is one of the funniest endings I’ve ever seen in a Jack Lemmon movie!
