Directed by: Billy Wilder
Starring: Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe, George Raft
Factual error: In the shot where the female band members run from their hotel (in Florida) to the beach, mountains can be seen in the background.
Factual error: The head gangster at the convention is wearing a 1950s-era hearing aid around his neck. They didn't have anything that small in 1929.
Continuity mistake: 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.
Sugar: Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
Trivia: Not a mistake, just a fact. According to I.A.L. Diamond,Tony Curtis' "Josephine" voice was dubbed by another actor, as Curtis couldn't speak high enough.
Question: I'm sure I have seen this film in colour. Does anyone know if it has ever been shown in colour?
Chosen answer: I've seen it colorized several times on TNT and FMC.
