@Nataliaa83 I saw an interview with Curtis where he says he had a relationship with Marilyn years before they made "Some Like It Hot" and that they remain friends after the relationship was over...so, yes, it was obviously a joke.
Despite how melodramatic this program was, I do find it interesting and informative in terms of her medical history: her family history of depression, her endometriosis, her use of barbituates, etc.
Curtis will always be associated most with the cross-dressing Billy Wilder masterpiece Some Like It Hot, which co-starred Marilyn Monroe. After filming that, he said, on being asked what it was like to kiss Monroe: "It was like kissing Hitler." This sentence has become part of movie lore.
Today, he says: "I said it as a joke. I mean, it was such a darn stupid question, so I gave a stupid answer."
