One Of My Favorite Things

Does it get any hotter than Some Like It Hot on a sleepy Sunday evening? It's one of my favorite Marilyn movies (second only to How To Marry A Millionaire) and is what comedy should truly be: perfectly-timed, witty, intelligent, unexpected, subversive, sometimes over-the-top, but never vulgar. I remember reading somewhere that they chose to do the film in black & white (even though MM's contract explicitly called for color) because the make-up that Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis wore make them look green. Apparently even Marilyn's contract had some flexibility. But even in black & white, Ms. Monroe has never looked so stunning, so alive. So Marilyn.
