SOME LIKE IT COOL is a truly dreadful European sex comedy made as a collaboration between Austria, Italy, and France, and it has been dubbed into bad English from the original German. Tony Curtis, truly down on his luck, plays the dual role of Casanova and a lame stand in, and the plot sees him basically acting debauched throughout. Much of the film's supposed comedy comes from the usual lame 'mistaken identity' premise, and half the running time is merely designed to showcase topless women in a variety of period dress. Some supporting players who should be ashamed of themselves include Hugh Griffith (as an Arab!), Marisa Mell, Sylva Koscina, Victor Spinetti, and Britt Ekland. Imagine CARRY ON DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD without the laughs and you'll be close.
