Somebody once said that for Elvis, dying was a good career move. Same with Marilyn Monroe. Has she ever been bigger? In my Film Comedy class, we'll be seeing two Marilyn films over the next two weeks: Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. This week, I told the class that there's a new NBC show called Smash about creating a Broadway musical about Marilyn. The class, of course, already knew about it. Plus there's also the film My Week With Marilyn in theaters now. On Smash last night, a character was watching Some Like It Hot on a computer. Next week, I'll ask if the class noticed that.
