This is the first movie I've ever seen starring Marilyn Monroe.

20160716:
By now I've also seen There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) and Some Like It Hot (1959).

Richard Sherman and The Girl

But considering she's been in several movies, many of which have appeared on Netflix, I've hardly seen any (three movies over six years).

In any case, I didn't remember how the movie ended, but I definitely liked the ending.
