I just picked this up from the library. It sounds pretty crazy. It's currently ranked #73 on IMDB's top 250.

Amazon:

I’m not trying to “destroy anything”. I have been actively involved in Movie-A-Day since I discovered this forum. If I'm posting too many movies, please let me know.

I just watched it. It was pretty damn funny. I was laughing pretty hard at the end, that was classic. I’m surprised that this isn’t rated higher than #73 at IMDB. The trivia section at IMDB has several very interesting items. Here’s one of them.

Marilyn Monroe required 47 takes to get "It's me, Sugar" correct, instead saying either "Sugar, it's me" or "It's Sugar, me". After take 30, Billy Wilder had the line written on a blackboard. Another scene required Monroe to rummage through some drawers and say "Where's the bourbon?" After 40 takes of her saying "Where's the whiskey?", 'Where's the bottle?", or "Where's the bonbon?", Wilder pasted the correct line in one of the drawers. After Monroe became confused about which drawer contained the line, Wilder had it pasted in every drawer. Fifty-nine takes were required for this scene and when she finally does say it, she has her back to the camera, leading some to wonder if Wilder finally gave up and had it dubbed.
