A connect question

Regular quizzers love this type of question, where you have to connect two seemingly unrelated things.

Ans: In the movie, Marilyn Monroe plays a girl who is from Denver, Colarado which is the sister city of Chennai.

    In Chennai it is the men whose underwear you see beneath their lungis!

    Mr.Chenthil, just how the heck are we supposed to work this out? Hmm?

    All I can guess is that it must have something to do with the release of Seven Year Itch in Chennai.

    Guys, Chenthil specifically mentions Marilyn Monroe in the Seven Year Itch, and her connection with Chennai; and not the film’s connection with Chennai.

    In quizzing parlance, one word exists for questions like this one: Arbit.

    Apparently there was also a rather large Marilyn cutout! Chennai connection?

    Prabhu, no. There must have been earlier movies screened with A certificate – the Revolver Reeta kind of movies.

    Anand, nice imagination with the first attempt. You did get it right about the connect being Marilyn Monroe’s character and not the movie itself.

    Krithiga, you should have seen the movie to get this connect. And it is not arbit.

    Zero, no.

    The correct answer is in that movie Marilyn Monroe plays a girl who is from Denver, Colarado which is the sister city of Chennai. (Blame the inflight entertainment and numb mind for such questions)

    When I saw the movie I felt that the characters suffered the same heat and humidity that chennaiVasis are so familiar with.
    Denver and Chennai are sister cities is such a lame connection !!

    Senthil,
    What is a sister city? Assuming there is some fancy definition for that, does chennai have more sisters? Brothers? Wives? Keeps?

    BTW, what is the relation between
    a) Hyderabad and Hyderabad
    b) Salem and Salem
