Some Like It Hot (1959)
Plot summary
Directed by: Billy Wilder
Starring: George Raft, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis
Two struggling musicians (Curtis & Lemmon) witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. The only job that will pay their way is an all girl band so the two dress up as women. In addition to hiding, each has his own problems; One falls for another band member (Monroe) but can't tell her his gender, and the other has a rich suitor who will not take "No" for an answer.

Sweet Sue: Are you two from the Poliakoff agency?
Joe: Yes, we're the new girls.
Daphne: Brand new.
Trivia: Marilyn Monroe was pregnant throughout the filming, which is why she was so nervous. Because she was noticeably heavier for this film, many posters had her head superimposed of another model's body.
Question: I'm sure I have seen this film in colour. Does anyone know if it has ever been shown in colour?
