With a comedy Some Like It Hot as was the timing of the actors very important. It had to actors with experience and trained in the comedy.Initially, Wilder Danny Kaye on the eye for the role of Jerry, but later he considered Jerry Lewis who refused because he wanted no travestierol. The actor was later regret, especially when Lemmon an Oscar nomination. Lewis sent some years Jack Lemmon around the date of the Oscar nominations chocolates as a reminder of his stupidity. Wilder also considered to Frank Sinatra for the role of Jerry, but also who refused. Anthony Perkins auditioned but was rejected. Jack Lemmon finally got the role. Tony Curtis had less competition. Only Bob Hope was considered, but then in combination with Danny Kaye. Billy Wilder did have Marilyn Monroe for eyes for Sugar, but it was initially not available. Mitzi Gaynor was selected, but had to give when Monroe turned out to be available anyway. Edward g. Robinson was initially chosen as a thug, but Robinson had serious disagreements with Raft and said he never wanted to play with him in a movie, he loved Word.

First he had to the original plan to shoot the film in color to drop because the make up by Curtiss and Lemmon a greenish complexion showed up on the film prints. Monroe was here very angry about it because there was in her contract that all of its movies in color had to be included.WIlder could convince her but this discussion turned out to be only the first in a longer row problems. As it turned out Marilyn Monroe pregnant during the shooting. As a result, she was much heavier than normal and the costumes had to be adjusted. For the publicity pictures of the movie posed Monroe's stand-in, Evelyn Moriarty fixed after which the head of Marilyn was inserted later.

He chose the Hotel del Coronado in Coronado (near San Diego) as the location for the hotel scenes that make up a large part of the movie. The advantage was that Monroe had a permanent location and not have to travel too much. Wilder had a lot with his star set. Monroe steenvast came two to three hours late on the set, as they all its locker room came out. She had problems with her learning text and in some scenes is to see that they are reading her text of signs that are being held next to the camera (for example, the scene where Monroe and say goodbye to each other by the Curtiss phone). In one of the recordings Monroe had to say: "it's me, Sugar", but they kept saying: "Sugar, Sugar, it's me" or "it's me". After Wilder left the text thirty takes on a Board writing. But also there were still 17 takes needed to do well on it. In the end the fact that Monroe's crazy hair was Wilder lyrics wrong kept saying and eventually he let indubben them later. For Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon was playing with Monroe a true ordeal. Every day they were on time in women's costume to wait until Monroe showed up. Standing in high heels was cutthroat, especially if Monroe then thirty to fifty takes needed for the scene was there. Lemmon and Curtis made often takes a bet in advance how many would need. Lemmon also had fewer scenes with Monroe than Curtis and the last got so frustrated by the unstable actress that when a reporter asked what it was like to Monroe to kiss, he said, "it was like I had to kiss Hitler".

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Lemmon and Curtis also had other problems. They had to come across as credible women and received lessons from a man who in a night clubs in travesty occurred. He learned the two among other walk in high heels. Lemmon had there soon enough. After a week he refused any longer to take part in the lessons. He felt he was better as a man who tried to run as a woman. Along with Curtis went Lemmon also try out how credible others may look at you and women. After they had their women costumes attracted they ran the studios around and visited the women's toilets. No woman was able to see through their disguise when she their lips were about to pens in the mirrors. When Wilder heard he took the happening on this later as a scene in the movie. The film also claimed some of the actors on dance area. George Raft played the role of the gangster leader was also a skilled dancer and he threw himself on as dance coach for Lemmon and Joe e. Brown (Oscar Fielding III) that make up a tango had to dance. To despair of Raft it took several hours for Lemmon could dance as a woman, but also Curtis had his problems with the woman role. He held it is not full to constantly with a high voice to talk in his role as Josephine. Wilder left therefore in the post production the voice of Josephine recording by Paul Milling. For the role of Curtis also had to adjust his voice Junior. He tried to imitate that Cary Grant . Everyone liked it, including Grant itself. ===Test Public<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The first test audience that saw the movie, the producers and studio bosses not laughed and urged Wilder on the movie. Wilder, however, changed nothing and said that they just had the wrong movie to a public show. The following tests were indeed a success and the audience was double of laughter. Oddly enough forced this Wilder changes. For example, the public had to laugh when Lemmon his engagement with Osgood Fielding III announced that much of the dialogue was lost. This edited Wilder the scene again with longer pauses between dialogue. ==Music<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p lang="en" len="45" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The following songs are in the movie told:

It had but just close this phrase was never in the movie come. It was intended as a filler until the screenwriters had devised a better phrase. But Wilder liked it so much that he maintained the original text.
