Directed by: Billy Wilder
Starring: George Raft, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis
Sugar: It's me, Sugar.
Joe: So you got pinched in the elevator, so what? Would you rather be picking lead out of your navel?
Spats Colombo: Hello, copper. What brings you to Miami?
Mulligan: Heard you "opera lovers" were having a convention, so I thought I'd better be around in case anybody decided to sing.
Mulligan: You better bring a check in case the joint is raided.
Waiter: Who's gonna raid a funeral?
Mulligan: Some people got no respect for the dead.
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.
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.
Question: I'm sure I have seen this film in colour. Does anyone know if it has ever been shown in colour?
