The fact that Marilyn had just suffered a miscarriage, and was brilliant in this comedic role, says how amazing of an actress she really was. She was devastated inside, but you'd never know it.

Apparently everyone on set knew it.

They should never do a remake when the original cast *MAKES* the movie. “Gone with the Wind” was as much about Vivien and Clark Gable as the plot. “The Wizard of Oz” loses its magic without Judy Garland. This movie is a success because of Billy Wilder, Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. You can’t duplicate that. Why even try?

Billy Wilder did an interview and talked about working with Marilyn and how insanely difficult it was. How it drove him to near insanity at times. Then he got a look in his eyes and says, "If she lived and had wanted to do another movie I'd do it in a minute, because what you get up there on the screen is pure magic."

So interesting to see the contrast between Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Lemmon seemed to be a good-spirited and kind man - you don't hear him say a mean word about Marilyn, and he credits others for the best bits in the movie. Curtis kinda borders on misogynistic (yeah I know, it was "the times") and a little full of himself. I'm a bigger Jack Lemmon fan after watching this!

I find it weird that there was no mention of Joe E. Brown. He was an essential part in that movie and the scenes with Jack Lemmon were hilarious.

I don't think anyone could remake this movie. They had the perfect cast which could never be replicated. Excellent movie.

Jack Lemmon was terrific. Can’t believe poor Marilyn was made to run and fall while pregnant.☹️

Marilyn - so vulnerable and so innocent and so memorable - in this comedy movie. Can't believe she actually sang those songs "Running wild", "I'm through with love" and "I wanna be loved by you"! No matter how many times you watch or rewatch this movie, it never gets boring.

I can't imagine Sinatra ever agreeing to being in a movie where he has to be in drags, much less be in drags for nearly 85% of the movie. This is seriously a classic movie gold. From writing to the production to the cast selection. Hell, even the back story is pretty entertaining, too.

Wilder was apparently thinking about Sinatra playing the part eventually played by Lemmon but nothing ever came of it. At the time, it may have seemed like a "no-brainer"; an established Hollywood movie star vs a relative new comer. Perhaps Frank and/or his "associates" did not think putting "OLE BLUE EYES" into a comedy involving female impersonation, cross dressing AND gangsters was such a good idea?

This movie is a riot. You will laugh so hard. I give it 10 STARS!!!!!!

I'm sure Marilyn had her problems and was difficult to work with but let's be honest. She was worth it. If she were a random dime a dozen actress, she could have been easily replaced but she brought a lot to the movie that's still remembered 65 years later. She was under a lot of pressure and I don't think anyone will ever truly know the cause of her mental problems but it probably didn't help that she was so loved for her beauty yet she probably felt like no one loved her for who she was on the inside. At any rate, it sucks that everyone felt the need to dump on her in this documentary, at least they could have balanced it out with yes she was difficult but in the end, look at the finished product, so she was worth it.

I would never want to see a remake of this film. It is a classic and I’ve yet to see any film remake that can top the original.

Honestly, of course you can make a film inspired by SOME LIKE IT HOT. But why do that if the script is not overwhelmingly good? Unfortunately, there is no actress with Marilyn's charisma at the moment. Besides, SOME LIKE IT HOT was a very risky business at the time it was made. No big studio, then or now, makes films like that. Times have also changed, men in drag make headlines today for other reasons. How do you make a comedy out of that without the LGBTQ community setting fire to your cinema or gluing themselves to the screen?

Marilyn was simply adorable and really showed a tremendous amount of talent. My favorite comedy of all time.

Jack Lemon is my favorite part of this movie! I don't know if I would like it as much without him.

Some like it hot is a timeless comedy master piece

In fairness, having two back to back miscarriages is awfully harrowing and I can't imagine being able to show up to work either...

I'll never forget the first time I saw Some Like It Hot I was probably 12 or 13 and I had never laughed so hard and I didn't even get all the jokes. It remains my favorite comedy and in my humble opinion it's still the greatest comedy of all time. Marilyn was unbelievably sexy but she was also an incredible comedian who always underestimated herself. Tony and Jack were brilliant as was the supporting cast.

Jack Lemmon, IMO, made the movie.🎬 Marilyn is awesome but Jack was so funny, hilarious. 😂

This is a brilliant movie and way ahead of its time with the suggestion 2 men could marry.MM was beautiful beyond measure and wow in some scenes wears a dress designed by Orly-Kelly that shows MM nearly naked. Billy Wilder fought with MM and MM fought back. The truth is that MM was his greatest Star and Wilder MM's greatest Director.

yes, as good as Jack and Tony were, no one could replicate the unique comic quality of Marilyn. It would have to be completely differently written with another actress in the role. Part of why it worked was Marilyn at this time was already an icon, and this role was almost a parody of her sex symbol status. At first, you just see Marilyn the actress but she's so talented, you see the comedy and the vulnerability that she adds to the characterization that makes her human, and not just an icon. I don't think there's been an actress since that has that same quality.

This script, the director, the entire cast, and the costume designer were perfection. Any changes, and we wouldn't have this masterpiece. Marilyn was a piece of it, not the center of it. Yes, she had two ectopic pregnancies, but she was also an addict who overdosed prior to those during production, her pregnancies were by two different men, and she'd made herself notorious for being extremely difficult to work with an Billy Wilder's last picture with her, the Seven Year Itch. She furthered her reputation on the set of her husband's script, The Misfits. Her unprofessional behavior on that film made her a pariah in films thereafter. Her last picture, Somethings Gotta Give, went incomplete because she only made it to set for a third of the initial shooting times and half that for test, wardrobe, makeup, and set shots. Then she died in the early days of filming. She was a shooting star that I love watching however I would have refused to hire her as she wasn't a person. She was a construct with the right marketing and sparks of brilliance brought out by fantastic and visionary directors.

Jack Lemmon. A TRUE Star.

Marilyn Monroe struggled with crippling mental illness and acting was often torment for her but no matter how painful this was for everyone working with her the result was well worth it, no one else could been better. Jack Lemmon was a really nice person and Marilyn adored him. Tony Curtis was not so nice but like Jack Lemmon he was sublime in the film. I do think the other cast members deserved a mention.

After she formed her own company, there was tremendous pressure on her. The public and industry eye both loved her, and was extraordinarily critical. This is the best film of it's genre ever made, and much of the credit is Supervova Marilyn.
