Gotta go with “Some Like it Hot.”

Tranquilis:

I saw the clips of the film she was doing with Martin at the invitation of a friend who works for Turner Classic Movies. They were in the final stages of doing a retrospecitive of Monroe’s later works. I hope he doesn’t get in trouble for me mentioning this. But I called him and he said that it should be on that channel by now.

But my personal favorite is “Niagra.” Not just a bimbo role, but a conniving, evil bimbo.

Nah… We’re all anonynous 'ere, no?

So: You don’t have to sell your soul, just have a friend who _works_ for the Devil… ::D&R::

_Niagara_ WAS a great film. I have to agree with you. I just totally forgot about that one.

But she didn’t even have any lines in _Scudda-Hoo, Scudda-Hey_. IIRC, she had about a 20 second walk on type part. In fact, I only know she was in it due to reading about ninety million books about her. Eonline doesn’t even mention her in the cast. I haven’t checked IMDb yet.
