Thank you, Marilyn Monroe : The drama you played, on and off the screen is so amazing! I miss you so much

I Love Marilyn Monroe, she appeared magical in every scene and made me smile everytime 😍😘💘🌹

This has always been my favourite Marylin Monroe movie

One of my all-time favorite comedies!!! I can't even remember how many times I've watched it! Jack Lemmon was in his comedic prime as he performed the role of Daphne, and was robbed of that Oscar he was nominated for!!! 😂😁😎🙀😹🙀👀👏🤷🏻🎬🎥🎷🎶🎟😍🎞😂

"Look how she walks, it's like jello on springs" oh the writers! Oh the actors! So glad the magic of this movie happened. It was ahead of its time and funny and reminiscent of a time prior.

Marilyn was brilliant and like most actors, appreciated being validated, which she didn't get a lot of beyond her beauty and sexuality. Sad, that's Hollywood then, and NOW. She was a master of her craft, she could do it all, sing, dance, play comedy or drama. She was a true visionary.

Marilyn never grew out of that hurt little abandoned child and was scared and felt unworthy every time she walked on the set. Oddly enough that was a big part of her attraction. A lost puppy you just wanted to love and take care of. Once her looks started fading she wasn't long for this world. She never fully realized how incredibly talented and smart she was on top of that once in a lifetime beauty.

I love the part where Jack is annoyed at seeing Tony show up dressed like a man, and coming onto Marilyn, on the beach. He wants the destroy this incipient romance, so when Marilyn says she wants to go tell Tony (in his female persona) about this wonderful man back in their hotel room, Jack says, "Let's run!" to quickly get there and maybe catch Tony dressed as a man. Which doesn't work, because Tony has jumped into the bathtub still dressed in male clothes, which he's hidden under bubbles. I always laughed at the cleverness of this quick cover-up and how Jack was thwarted.

That last scene has a much bigger impact now, and I found it hilarious. In 2014 with so much talk about same sex rights and properly identifying transgeneders, that last scene really hits home. I expected Osgood to throw him out of his boat or something. No, he basically says "I will love you no matter what..Your stuck with me." That scene alone makes me realize that their the prejudice we show now aren't all because of our past.

The story about Marilyn blowing her "Where's that bourbon" line has been told for decades. But Barbara Diamond was right: Marilyn had her back to the camera while delivering the line. It could have been dubbed in later and saved everyone the retakes, delays, frustration and extra cost. But, I guess Billy -- and don't get me wrong because I believe he's an incredible director and writer -- just needed a Marilyn story to tell during dinner parties and made her do it over and over.

+Marilyn Monroe Video Archives, The real reason Marilyn Monroe had trouble being punctual on set, being very dependent on and micromanaged by Paula Strasberg, could not remember simple lines, unable to account for loss of time, having intense insecurity and fear issues to the point of tears, amongst many other strange behaviors is because she was under mind control. They compartmentalized her mind to make her into what they call a "presidential model". She had handlers controlling her until she was murdered at the hotel Carlyle. For those of you who believe she overdosed on barbiturates, take note that those who overdose on barbiturates go into convulsions leaving the limbs contorted, but when they found Marilyn Monroe dead, her legs were straight, not to mention the autopsy revealed that she had enough toxins in her body to kill 15 people. Cathy O'Brien was a victim of mind control as well. She went through mind control since she was a child. Under project monarch, O'Brien was targeted, one of many children chosen, to be made into a prostitute because her mind was already compartmentalized through her father's traumatic sexual abuse. When the MK-Ultra handlers discovered her father's perverted tapes, they gave him a choice to either go to jail or go to Harvard to learn how to instill different alters in her brain for the purpose of creating multiple personalities for different trades/jobs so that she could then be handed over and used by MK (Meind Kontroll) agents. During her job as a prostitute in the white house and other places, they told her that she was going to be a presidential model just like Marilyn Monroe was. All people with that Multiple Personality Disorder, (now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder) can't recall what they did for periods of time because after they spend hours or days as a personality/alter, they are then triggered/remember a traumatic event by using a code or a photograph and they suddenly switch over to another personality/alter. The previous alter hides behind amnesic barriers so the personalities don't know about the other personalities and what they did. That is why the person is confused as to why she/he can't remember what happened in that loss of time. There are other trades that mind control is used for. They are scientists, assassins, celebrities, diplomats, religious leaders, etc. They say the perfect assassin is one who doesn't know he is an assassin, because if you can't remember what you did, then you can't tell any secrets.

I think Marilyn was more than just a sex symbol. Ppl tend to see only what they want. I feel that she was so much more and she knew it too but nobody ever cared enough to allow her to explore that side of herself as an actress. Most performers such as Marilyn are never just one dimensional. Marilyn was a Gemini and Gem's are very versatile.

Brilliant film, has me laughing every time and like a good Shakespeare it goes from comedy to tragedy, light to dark, and brilliantly explores truth and deception. The monochrome has proved a way of making it timeless in a way that colour could not. What brilliant casting, great songs and acting chemistry! Marilyn, despite the problems and maddening unreliability, is superb, but they're all inspired, even that lecherous bellhop.

Marilyn was pregnant and had a miscarriage during the filming of this so screw anyone on the set that had a problem with her, she was going through such heartache. And screw Tony, he back peddled on the kissing comment because after she died he tried to convince everyone that they had a special secret love affair and so of course he doesn't want to admit what he actually meant by that statement.

Sadly, poor Marilyn had a medical condition (severe endometriosis) that essentially made her barren and unable to carry a pregnancy to term no matter what she tried to do in order to salvage her pregnancy. Effective fertility treatments for severe endometriosis were not invented until years after Marilyn died. Even now, at least half of all women with this condition are unable to safely and successfully carry a pregnancy to term.

I think this was voted the #1 Best comedy film of all time or something. No one would have bothered seeing this film if it wasn't for MM. She is like catnip. You just can't take your eyes off of her. The scene where she's looking for the bourbon is so moving, so believable. You'd never guess it took so long to get it. The scene where she sings I'm Through with Love is absolutely heartbreaking. She's so perfect, and her voice is wonderful. But every time I watch an interview about any of her films all they do is complain about her. Its ridiculous. She made this worth watching, she's the reason it was such a success and they still resent her for it. At least Billy Wilder admitted that he'd beg her to do another film together. She's bigger than any of them forever, so suck it Tony Curtis with the ridiculous toupee 😂

“Some Like It Hot” wouldn’t go over well in states like Florida today with people like DeSantis in charge. In fact, the “anti-woke” alt-right politicians are banning films like this one even though these films are beloved classics. Politicians like DeSantis will ban films like Monty Python, Mrs. Doubtfire, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Some Like It Hot because these films have men in drag who dress as women, despite the fact that said films do NOT explicitly have a “woke” pro-LGBT message.

I really enjoyed this doc. This was the first time I really fell for MM. From her vacant look walking to the train to her "Good night, honey" she is so winning, so exceptional-you gotta love her. Curtis was a moron w/ his comment about MM & Hitler. He was just mad because someone had the nerve to ask this star "what was it like to kiss HER?". He used bad judgement, plain and simple. He should've copped to that instead of trying to defend his ugly comment for the rest of his self-centered life.

Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe made this film as actors. If I was Billy Wilder I would of chose someone else besides Tony Curtis. Too bad Sinatra stood Billy Wilder up, he would've been better than Tony Curtis.

The scene where she was supposed to say, "Where's the Burbon", did not need all of the takes that were filmed. MM was not facing the camera when she had to utter that line, so after take one or two Wilder could have just let it go, and dub it in at a later date. It was a pissing contest between Wilder and MM.

Tony Curtis is in interviews early on acting as if he couldn't stand Marilyn. Fine, he could feel whatever he wants. But then he goes on to give interviews about her, paint her, making claims that they were lovers and he got her pregnant and on and on. Marilyn's niece indicated that Tony was full of it.....

Ruple Thaker Imho and with respect, I don't think it had anything to do with Curtis not having MM off-screen. No doubt he may have wanted to though, Imho, It had everything to do with Curtis being incredibly frustrated over having to go through so many dozens of extra takes for each scene. It's nearly impossible for an actor to do that and keep themselves fresh and energized. Your bound to get exhausted and lose your best stuff. MM on the other hand had to work out the cobwebs and get into it very slowly. Much of her scenes were spliced moments from the dozens of takes where she might have a moment here and there where she shined. In essence for Curtis who had the most scenes with MM, as I.A.L. Diamond's wife points out, he lost out because many of the his best moments were on the cutting room floor. This costs an actor a great deal and perhaps under other circumstances you might have found yourself today including Curtis in your praises had MM been able to be on time, be prepared and not need so much help. Most other name actors would have walked off the film and some never wanted to work with MM because of her problems on the set. Sinatra for example was notorious for only doing one take and that was it. Spencer Tracy pretty much the same and so on. They expected everyone to be on their game. No doubt sometimes a few more takes would be required, but with MM it would be dozens at times and over simple lines as pointed out in this video. I'm not beating on MM at all, I'm just clarifying that having to work with someone so insecure and unable to be prepared, let alone be on time could destroy if not severely diminish the other actors performances, let alone the well being on the set. Imagine if every day that you went to work you couldn't start working until this certain person came to work and you had to be at work on time, but wait as long as needed for the other co-worker to come to the job. And then when they arrive, you'd have to wait another few hours for them to be coaxed by your boss to start working. And then that co-worker slows up the whole working process by not being prepared and you have to re-do a number of times something that could be finished much sooner. Then you have to stay much longer at work to finish the days work, so what should have been for example and 8 hour day now becomes 12 or longer. Very few of us, no matter how special that person was, could tolerate working with someone like that.

+lemaxmas You are right. However, today we know that Marilyn was bi polar which explains a great deal about why she was so difficult. Also Marilyn and Jack Lemmon got along well. In numerous interviews jack acknowleged marilyn being difficult on the set but he also said a lot of kind things about her. It seems that only Tony choose to become spiteful toward Marilyn. Of course in his last years he claimed to love her so much, even saying that they were having an affair during the shooting of the film. All of that was dubious. In Marilyn's last interview which was audio recorded, she eludes to the "like kissing Hitler" comment, dismissing Curtis as "some actor" So it's clear Marilyn had no affection for him.

Creat Swartz I'd never heard that as a diagnosis, but it certainly from my lay perspective sounds as good as anything I've heard. I would not feel confident myself to ascertain what she really suffered from. In terms of my comment, it's no about explaining or excusing MM's behavior. It was more about it from Curtis' experience and how difficult her problems and insecurities were on those she worked with. I do agree she had some difficult personal problems and traumas that made life tough for her. The life of a movie star back then, especially for a woman was often no picnic and it isn't now either. I personally think that even very stable people can be stretched to the limit by that kind of life and in a real sense it's pretty amazing that MM survived as well as she did with all that happened in her life. I used to sometimes work as a movie extra years back and I remember seeing some of the pressures that some then beautiful actress went through and for all that they had going for them, I felt sorry for some of them. It's an incredibly unforgiving business regardless of talent and beauty, especially for women.

+lemaxmas Not the same w/every day office-type work! Wilder was quoted as saying to Lemmon and Curis, you have to be good in every take because I'm going with her, when she is on screen, the audience is looking at only her !!!

John Tomasello umm, who said "office-type work", is that all there is out there other than acting in films? Neither here nor there though, and even if it were as "office -type work" and the so-called management favored her or counted her more important than the other workers, it would be a quite difficult circumstance in any profession or situation. I guess you're one of the lucky few who never worked with an incompetent person as a supervisor or co-worker that the management didn't want to fire or favored. That's great for you! The quote you paraphrase has to do with the fact that any bit of a take that MM got right or good would be the choice not only because she was the incredible beauty that she was and had a charisma and presence all her own, but mostly because it was so difficult and rare to get a good take from her. She had great gifts and also worked hard, but she was terrified to act even on camera, traumatised and fearful beyond belief and seemed to have more trouble the more successful she got, despite her gifts and skill, and in effect she was, despite it all, awful to work with, but only from a specific point on in her career as George Chakiris pointed out when he worked with her as a dancer in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and was so impressed with how professional and hard-working she was. By the way, Billy Wilder also said the following about MM; "Hollywood didn't kill Marilyn Monroe; it's the Marilyn Monroes who are killing Hollywood." - and - "Breasts like granite and a brain like Swiss cheese." - and - "An endless puzzle without any solution." - and - "“After working all day with her I feel like going home and beating my wife.” So while Wilder felt that the public wanted to see the best MM he could produce, he too felt the same frustrations that Mr. Curtis felt. And sadly he was not alone. She was sadly for her most of all, a handful to work with.

Always a fun movie to watch with friends Popcorn night share.

I grew up watching this and I’m 16 now and this will forever be my favourite movie. The old movies are so much more enjoyable to watch..

The Cast didn't know that Marilyn Monroe was pregnant during filming. So shooting this Movie was difficult for her.

Tony Looks like Eve Arden !
