You’re proving my point, as much as you wish you weren’t. Revival houses, library screenings, even the bulk of TCM are aimed towards cinephiles and people who are old enough to have a familiarity/nostalgia for the film from when it debuted. Some Like It Hot is in the same company as Le Circle Rouge or Chimes at Midnight, which can play for a few weeks on a single screen, but I don’t know how that squares with the idea of being “wildly popular”.
And I didn’t claim the film was forgotten, so citing DVD and the ability to rent the film digitally only tells us, again, what we already agree on: it’s a great movie that is held in high esteem by certain people.
But also… I don’t get the sense that certain peels on this board are aware that “Sugar” Is not a well-known musical outside of this board. There’s a pop culture myopia on this site that reinforces itself in odd ways, and I think this movie and musical are an example of that. |
