Marilyn is the tops and this movie is fantastic, but that dress is the worst costume she’s ever worn.

The Apartment: According to Shirley MacLaine, much of the movie was written as filming progressed. The gin rummy game was added because at the time she was learning how to play the game from her friends in the Rat Pack. Likewise, when she started philosophizing about love during a lunch break one day, this was also added to the script:
”[…] It was different because on The Apartment, we only had 29 pages of script, and what he [Billy] did was wait to see how the relationship and the chemistry and all that between Jack and me would develop, and then he wrote it accordingly. Actually, he put the gin scene in, where we were playing cards, because he knew I was playing gin with Dean and Frank all the time”.
oh mah gah, there are some films that just leave me bursting with feeling, and this is one of them. I love this story because they just happened upon a brilliant part of the film and it honestly wouldn’t have happened if they had different casting. I love when things just come together like that.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4gut9jsc61qefgdko1_500.jpg)

I will always reblog this. Just a pure, simple, sad, beautiful moment.

An early script of Sunset Boulevard. Montgomery Clift’s name is listed inside for the lead role that would eventually go to William Holden after Clift dropped out.

“On November 1st, 1959, the population of New York City was 8,042,783. If you laid all these people end to end, figuring an average height of five feet six and a half inches, they would reach from Times Square to the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan. I know facts like this because I work for an insurance company - Consolidated Life of New York. We’re one of the top five companies in the country. Our home office has 31,259 employees, which is more than the entire population of uhh… Natchez, Mississippi. I work on the 19th floor. Ordinary Policy Department, Premium Accounting Division, Section W, desk number 861.” - The Apartment
Words simply cannot express my love for The Apartment.
