For what it’s worth, see post 103 here: [2001: A Space Odyssey](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2001-a-space-odyssey/472997)

But who cares about them, right? A woman has an aging non-issue. It works okay as long as you ignore the “explanation” for the non-aging thing.

I liked it OK. The guy who played the young Harrison Ford character is a dead ringer for him, though - a little surprised he hasn’t gotten more work doing that.

Yes! I love Harold Lloyd. A great physical comedian, and he could really _act_, unlike a lot of actors and actresses back then.

_So Like It Hot_ was the low-budget 2011 Latvian remake (they couldn’t afford the two extra letters in the title). You really should see the original.
