In the “Heatwave” number, Marilyn Monroe actually accidentally pokes her finger in a dancer’s eye, something you can see on the DVD on slow motion. Right after Marilyn pokes the dancer in the eye she performs a twirl, pokes her head between the branches of the fake tree and gives the dancer a kiss as an apology (it’s quick but definitely a peck on the cheek to make up for the eye poke).
