The classic shot of

s dress blowing up around her legs as she stands over a subway grating was originally shot on Manhattans Lexington Avenue at 52nd St. on Sept. 15, 1954 at 1 AM. 5000 onlookers whistled and cheered through take after take as Marilyn repeatedly missed her lines. This occurred in the presence of an increasingly embarrassed and angry
Joe DiMaggio
, Monroes husband at the time. The original footage shot on that night in New York never made it to the screen; the noise of the crowd had made it unusable.

Don Siegel
direct. Siegel was under contract to Universal at the time, and Eastwood personally went to the studio heads to ask them to loan Siegel to Warner.

Bernadette Peters
renewed interest in seeing this film again.
