Tonight is Episode 5 of Devs, as FX on Hulu rolls out this scintillating series in weekly installments. In tonight’s episode, the experiment on which the top-secret development team has been working – tapping into the time stream and snatching sample bits of past and future “historical” audio – gets refined. And one surprise leads to another, and another, and to some very dramatic turns in this drama’s real world. If it is a real world&hell

SOME LIKE IT HOT By David Bianculli

Marilyn Monroe gets most of the attention, and deserves it, for her role in this 1959 comedy, directed by Billy Wilder.
