A make-up would apply a darker shade of make-up between Keira Knightley's breasts to increase the "cleavage effect". This process took 45 minutes every morning before shooting.

In order to show just one of Marlene Dietrich's famous legs in the movie 'Witness for the prosecution', an entire scene was written that required 145 extras, 38 stunt men and cost $90,000 to shoot.
