Important Added Info: Note that United Artists created a special one-sheet for this classic movie which promotes three different special soundtrack albums for this movie ("Some Like It Hot", which included Marilyn Monroe singing, "Some Like It Cool", which included a lot of great "cool jazz", and "Some Like It Hot Cha-Cha-Cha", which included a lot of "hot cha-cha" music). This poster would have been displayed in the lobbies of theaters showing this movie, trying to encourage those who saw the movie to rush out and buy one or all of these albums.
