Page 1 of Some like it hot

8) Hi
Can anyone tell me if the film Some like it hot [Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis & MM]
was ever shown & or put out in colour.
I have seen the dvds arround but they seem to be in black & white & I am sure that I have watched it in colour.
I have seen the dvd for sale online but they don`t always say that it is in colour
Anyone know?

Thanks :B

Quote:
The film was originally planned to be filmed in full color, but after several screen tests it had to be changed to black and white. The reason for this was a very obvious `green tint` around the heavy make-up of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon when in role as Josephine and Daphne.

I like this one
Quote:
On the set, Wilder grew exasperated by Monroe`s inability to remember her lines. He had several of them written in inconspicuous spots on the set, so she could read them. It is possible to see Monroe`s eyes move back and forth during the scene where she talks to Curtis` character on the phone in her hotel room — she was reading from a chalkboard held behind the camera.
Hmm... and she got an oscar too, I wonder how she pulled that off, the little matress-back?

Interesting info Stanz but so far as I know Monroe never got an Oscar, though she did get at various times an Arthur, a Joe, a Bobby and a Jack... ;)

Oh, she got oscar later that night, no doubt...
