A short amateur film of Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe on the set of "Some Like It Hot", which was unearthed last month after 50 years, fetches nearly 15000 U.S. dollars in an auction. The 8mm film, which also shows director Billy Wilder and co-star Tony Curtis, was taken in early 1959 by a U.S. naval officer who was invited to the set of the movie after Monroe visited his base in San Diego. The auctioneers had expected the footage to generate a lot of interest as "Some Like It Hot" is listed by the American Film Institute as the greatest American comedy film of all time. However, the sale price was lower than the pre-sale estimate of 17000 to 25500 U.S dollars.
