Almost half a
century after her untimely and tragic death, Marilyn Munroe appears once again
in a short amateur film, of 2 and a half minute duration, in 8mm format, showing
scenes depicted from the shooting of what had become a timeless classic of her
short career, ' Some Like It Hot '.
It was made by a marine friend of the star, whose daughter has just put it up for auction in Australia. The starting reserved price was fixed at $20,000.
The film shows a sequence in that famous Comedy, made in 1959 in Florida. Tony Curtis and Billy Wilder also featured in the scene.
The film itself, to me anyway, must be the very best of her work as an actress, not just pretty and sexy. I know many people wouldn't agree with me, but I also consider her other comedy 'The Prince and The Showgirl', in which she also showed her talent of being a very good actress. In fact she stole all the scenes from Laurance Olivier.
