In Some Like It Hot, the director combines two main issues of the time. First, the use of men in disguise was a new technique and a growing problem in America. Secondly, the portrayal of men and women (Marilyn Monroe) raises questions about gender roles and the continuation of sexist dogma. The scene at the train station introduces Sugar Kane, played by Marilyn Monroe. In Some Like It Hot, Monroe has various parts of her body highlighted. During the scene at the train station, 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 sheer, sheer dress that teases the viewer as to what she might be hiding underneath. This “goddess of love” motif is very prevalent in this film and during this time period. This motif also encourages male chauvinism. It attracts the gaze and intrinsic sexual wonder. It degrades the actress simply for her appearance and promotes the sexist belief that women are objects of admiration by men. However, Sugar's interesting choice of men contrasts with most accepted relationships of the time. Sugar's preference for men, who are not just millionaires, contradicts the stereotype of the time. They both also wear glasses because to her they seem "much kinder, sweeter and more helpless". This directly contradicts the typical male choice. Her character, unlike many typical female characters in films then and now, rejects the usual muscular type and instead opts for the sweet. Sugar wants a man to depend on her instead of depending on them. Her active independence is a refreshing effect... middle of paper... applies these new characteristics to feminine traits. Catherine demonstrates her masculine qualities, recklessly outdoing Nick in car chases. Her complete disregard for traffic laws reveals her courageous self-confidence. Furthermore, being a bisexual woman breaks the traditional boundaries of heterosexuality. He often has sexual relationships with women. Furthermore, her cold and scheming demeanor, as seen by psychiatrist Dr. Beth Garner, allows her to pass the polygraph perfectly. In the end, Catherine proves that she can think logically and outsmart an entire staff of professionals. He highlights their inability to get a job done by manipulating it with mind games. This indirectly implies that the new feminine can compete just as well as the masculine. The film shows the possible destruction of patriarchal society.
