In Some Like It Hot, the director combines two major issues of the time. First, the use of cross-dressing men was a new technique and a growing problem in America. Second, the depiction of men and women (Marian Monroe) raises questions about gender roles and the persistence of sexist dogma. The scene at the train station features Sugar Kane, played by Marilyn Monroe. In Some Like it Hot, Monroe shows off various parts of her body. During the train station scene, Lemmon's character calls Monroe's butt "Jell-O on springs". Additionally, when Josephine and Daphne formally introduce themselves to Sugar, the camera angle is cleverly framed to depict Monroe's bare thigh and garter belt. Finally, during the scene where Marilyn sings "I Wanna Be Loved By You", she wears a see-through dress that teases the viewer as to what might be underneath. This “goddess of love” motif is very prevalent in this film and era. This motif also encourages male chauvinism. It draws the eye and inherent sexual wonder. This degrades the actress simply because of her appearance and reinforces the sexist belief that women are the objects of male gaze. However, Sugar's interesting choice of men goes against most accepted relationships of the time. Sugar's preference for men, who are not just millionaires, contradicts the stereotype of the time. Each also wears glasses because they seem "much softer, gentler and helpless" to her. This directly contradicts the typical choice of men. Her character, unlike many typical female characters in films past and present, rejects the usual big-muscle type and instead opts for sweetness. Sugar wants a man to depend on her instead of depending on them. His active independence is a refreshing piece...... middle of paper...... he applies these new characteristics to feminine traits. Catherine demonstrates her masculine qualities by recklessly outwitting Nick in car chases. The total disregard for traffic laws also reveals his courageous self-confidence. Second, being a bisexual woman, she breaks the traditional boundaries of heterosexuality. She often has sex with women. In addition, his cold and intriguing attitude, noted by psychiatrist Dr. Beth Garner, allows him to pass the polygraph perfectly. Finally, Catherine demonstrates that she can think logically and outsmart an entire team of professional men. She highlights their inability to accomplish work by manipulating it with mental games. This indirectly implies that the new feminine can compete as well as the masculine. The film shows the possible destruction of patriarchal society.
