Trivia

Monroe wanted the film to be shot in colour (her contract stipulated that all her films were to be in colour), but Wilder convinced her to let it be shot in black and white when costume tests revealed that the makeup that Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon wore gave their faces a green tinge. See more...

Continuity: This takes place in the scene where Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon first meet Marilyn Monroe on the train. Throughout the scene you can see Marilyn Monroe's black bra straps appear and disappear. It happens once on her right shoulder and once on her left shoulder.

Continuity: When Tony Curtis & Marilyn are on their way to the yacht, Marilyn has what appears to be a clear 'bra-band' across the back of her gown - this band appears and disappears until they are finally settled in the room.

Revealing: When Joe and Gerald escape down the balconies you can see that the view of the ocean is painted, specifically the waves don't move.

Continuity: In the scene on the train when Sugar climbs into 7A with "Josephine" she hides from Sue who is going to the bathroom. The girls come in and start a party. When it spills over into the walkway and "Daphne" pulls the brake chord, Sue jumps up from her bunk. She never came back through the hallway from the bathroom or she would have seen all the girls coming to the party.

Revealing: When Spats Columbo's gangsters are being searched for weapons at the Florida Hotel, the man doing the pat search can be seen placing the gun behind the gangster's leg, just before it supposedly drops out of his trouser leg.

Other: When Sugar and Josephine are talking on the telephone, Sugar's eyes are moving backwards and forwards, obviously reading from a cue-card.

Continuity: In the chase scene in Florida, Joe and Jerry escape the gangsters at one point by running up to their rooms, changing into their Josephine and Daphne costumes and then coming back to the elevator. The problem is that the two reside on the 4th floor in Room 413 and the elevator shows that they came down from the 3rd floor.

Other: In the opening chase-scene when the whisky-filled coffin is hit by bullets, whisky flows out of holes even above the liquid-level.
