Directed by: Billy Wilder
Starring: Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe, George Raft
Revealing mistake: 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.
Revealing mistake: 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 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.
Mulligan: You shave with your spats on?
Spats Colombo: I sleep with my spats on.
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.
Answer: Amazon.com has the colorized version.
