What's left behind the scenes

  • When Marilyn Monroe, in the role of Paula, demonstrates a red swimsuit, the description of her outfit includes the words “A girl’s best friend is, of course, diamonds.” Monroe’s character performed a song with that title in the comedy “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” (Howard Hawks, 1953).
  • One of the first films with a soundtrack recorded in “stereo” format.
  • The film's box office success contributed to the popularity of CinemaScope (a cinematic technology that used an anamorphic lens to create widescreen films) and brought closer the beginning of the widescreen era.
  • At the height of filming, Betty Grable (playing Loco Dempsey) had to leave the set to return home, where her daughter had an accident. The next day, Marilyn Monroe called to inquire about the child's health. Years later, Grable recounted that Monroe was the only one who showed such sensitivity.
  • According to Lauren Bacall, it was difficult to work with Marilyn Monroe due to her dependence on her acting coach, Natasha Lytess. At the end of each take, Lytess would stand behind director Jean Negulesco, and when Monroe looked to her for approval, Lytess would either nod or shake her head negatively, in which case Monroe would insist on shooting another take. The same scene was often shot with 15 or even more takes. The actors involved in the project also noticed the nature of the relationship between Monroe and Lytess, and believed that Monroe was unduly relying on the opinion of Lytess, who simply 'fed' on the actress's insecurity.
