My favorite movie with her is "Some Like It Hot" - but that's just a great movie all around, Billy Wilder is magnificent. Love "The Seven Year Itch" too. Bus Stop is sort of embarrassing to me, for some reason..."Niagra" is a neat little movie, I thought she was well cast in that. And did you know it has the longest "walking away" shot in cinema history? Ie - Ass Shot! I love it, cause that's about the shape of my lower body...
Anyways.
"Bus Stop" is not so good. Her accent is way off, and she and her love interest had no chemistry at all. I have never understood why so many consider it to be her best performance.

"Some Like it Hot" is great. Have you ever seen "Don't Bother to Knock"? She plays a great loon in it. Probably didn't have to act too much.
