Some Like It Hot is a 1959 American comedy film directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The supporting cast includes George Raft, Joe E. Brown, Pat O'Brien and Nehemiah Persoff. The film was adapted by Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond from the story by Robert Thoeren and Michael Logan. Logan had already written the story -- but without the gangsters -- for a German film, Fanfaren der Liebe (directed by Kurt Hoffmann, 1951), so Wilder's film is considered by some as a remake.

"Runnin' Wild" is a popular song first composed and recorded in 1922, written by A.H. Gibbs, Joe Grey and Leo Wood. It is probably best known for its inclusion in the classic 1959 comedy film Some Like It Hot, set in the late prohibition era. The song is performed during a rehearsal on a train journey,with Marilyn Monroe providing the vocals.

A swing version is included on the 1962 Verve recording: Ella Fitzgerald: Rhythm is My Business with a fabulous big band arrangement by Bill Doggett.

It was also used as introductory music on two early sound short films starring Laurel and Hardy (Men O' War, They Go Boom) before their celebrated theme tune The Ku-Ku Song was composed.
