Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Tonight I'm watching 'Some Like it Hot'. It's such a good film.
Has anyone else noticed Marilyn Monroe's dress during her 'I Want to Be Loved By You' number? Uh, it's practically see through. The lighting guy looked like he had special instruction to hit her with a spotlight in a certain way so as not to give it all away. It's deliberate if you watch it. And what's also deliberate is the placing of the sequins on her dress. They look like nipples. No lie.

Orry Kelly, one of my favosite designers! If I am not mistaken, he was nominated, if not a winner, of an Academy Award. That monkey fur number she wears in her first scene with the steam engine, priceless!

Of course, Jack Lemmon is priceless in this film. I can never look at maracas and not think of "him"

Ooh! Next up from Netflix will be The Bad Sleep Well, been years since I've seen it!
