HEAT WAVE - THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS (1954)
Molly and Terry Donahue, plus their three children, are The Five Donahues. Son Tim meets hat-check girl Vicky and the family act begins to fall apart. Starring Ethel Merman (Molly Donahue). Donald O'Connor (Tim Donahue), Marilyn Monroe (Vicky Parker), Dan Dailey (Terence Donahue), Johnnie Ray (Steve Donahue) and Mitzi Gaynor (Katy Donahue), There’s No Business Like Show Business had a score by Irving Berlin and was directed by Walter Lang.
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. The dancer is seen trying to hide behind the tree with his hand over his eye, but is enough of a trooper to continue with the number. 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).
