Behind the Scenes 'Some Like It Hot' (1959) Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, directed by Billy Wilder.

Recognised as the greatest comedy of all time by The American Film Institute, Some Like It Hot was the second collaboration between Billy Wilder and Marilyn Monroe.

Following the experience of shooting The Seven Year Itch (1955), Wilder was all too aware of the difficulties in working with the actress who, distracted by off screen relationships, struggled with depression and self-sabotage, frequently forgot her lines, turned up late, delayed production and deferred to her acting coach for direction. 

Despite driving him crazy, Wilder offered Monroe the role anyway, knowing her intoxicating ability to shine with comedic dialogue.

The numerous issues on Some Like It Hot are now infamous and well documented.

In an interview in 1959, when asked if he would work with Monroe again, Wilder joked  "I have discussed this with my doctor and my psychiatrist, and they tell me I'm too old and too rich to go through this again.” 

Wilder is also quoted as saying   

"I had no problem with Monroe. Monroe had a problem with Monroe."

"Anyone can remember lines but it takes a real artist to come on the set and not know her lines and yet give the performance she did."

”Whatever she threw away, we printed it and it was very good. It was very, very good. She automatically knew where the joke was. She did not discuss it. She came for the first rehearsal and she was absolutely perfect. She had a feeling for and a fear of the camera. Fright. She also loved the camera. Whatever she did, wherever she stood, there was always that thing that comes through. She was not even aware of it.”

“ My Aunt Millie is a nice lady. If she were in pictures she would always be on time. She would know her lines. But who would go to the movies to watch my Aunt Millie?”
