Good short that hits the right tone

This is a very affectionate dramatisation of a documented event: that Marilyn Monroe needed a lot of takes for a scene in 'Some Like It Hot' (1959).

It's mildly sends up the event without ever mocking Marilyn or looking down upon her. All the characters are pulled a little larger than life but the real ones were pretty large to start with. It clearly likes and sympathises with Marilyn, shown in particular in a talk on her hard earlier life and also in a brief moment she has alone near the end.

Another very entertaining and enlightening Urban Myths episode that sends you on your way with a warm and kindly feeling towards Marilyn.
