Added DiffLines:

* TroubledProduction: Creator/MarilynMonroe infamously had to do endless takes for many of her lines and was often late on set, generally ascribed to a combination of nervousness, perfectionism (not helped by the fact that her acting coach Paula Strausberg was always on set), and the ill effects of mixing alcohol and pills. Creator/TonyCurtis got so annoyed by this that after an early screening of the film when asked what it was like to kiss Marilyn Monroe, he supposedly said it was "like kissing Hitler." (Curtis went back and forth in later interviews as to whether or not he actually said this).

* CreatorChosenCasting: Creator/BillyWilder spotted Creator/TonyCurtis while he was making ''Houdini''.
-->I was sure Tony was right for it, because he was quite handsome, and when he tells Marilyn that he is one of the Shell Oil family, she has to be able to believe it.

** Creator/MarilynMonroe wanted the movie to be shot in color (her contract stipulated that all her films were to be in color), but Creator/BillyWilder convinced her to let it be shot in black and white when costume tests revealed that the makeup that Creator/TonyCurtis and Creator/JackLemmon wore gave their faces a green tinge. Billy Wilder also thought black and white film gave the movie more of a Twenties atmosphere; Wilder preferred shooting in black and white in general throughout his career, continuing to do so as late as ''1966'' (''The Fortune Cookie'')[[note]]which was also the last year that Oscars were given out specifically for black-and-white movies[[/note]] - tellingly, the last black and white film to win Best Picture before the DeliberatelyMonochrome ''Film/SchindlersList'' was his ''Film/TheApartment''.
