***SPOLIERS *** I have serious problems with this documentary. I feel
strongly that the set up, namely that the narrator/protagonist sort of
was against steroids when he began his "research" and then was giving
it the big thumbs up by film's end, is not especially true. This film
has the distinct feel of a pre-conceived opinion and then fitting the
so called facts to suppor...

"Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days" is an interesting look at the filming of
the American icon's final and unfinished film. As a documentary, it lacks
in
several areas (an example - director George Cuckor is said to be angry at
Monroe's frequent inability to work, but nothing is said about their on
set
relationship), but it includes much rare footage of Monroe and a 37-minute<...

This ranks as one of my all time favourite documentaries. Trinity and
Beyond's wealth of information is only overshadowed by its visually
stunning presentation. Beautifully crafted, this film is not only an
informative documentary, but truly is a work of art. It is perfect in
every regards, from the laborious undertaking of restoring all of the
test footage, to the insightful p...

This once nearly forgotten movie, the last film of Clark Gable and Marilyn
Monroe is now coming forward in the lexicon of film history as an underrated
gem. Universally misunderstood for the most part at the time it came out it
is clear now that this film was at least five of six years ahead of it's
time. It fits in more comfortably with films of the late 60's and early
70's. ...

Unlike many others who have left comments about this film, I really
enjoy it. This is definitely not high on the intellect scale, but it is a
sweet romantic comedy.
I agree this is not Marilyn's best film, but her performance in the
role is better than anyone else could have done it; very cute and
believable. Some of the writing really seems to target Marilyn's
own person...

Admittedly biased, "Some Like It Hot" can certainly stand on its own merit
with or without my thunderous round of applause. More than a decade ago, I
had the privilege of performing both the Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon roles
in "Sugar," the musical adaptation of "Some Like It Hot" which originally
starred Tony Roberts, Robert Morse and Elaine Joyce on Broadway in the 70s.

Alternately puzzled, lost, desperate, lonely, confused and unexpectedly
radiant with happiness, Marilyn Monroe, with a mixture of humor and
pain scores her greatest triumph in Joshua Logan's "Bus Stop" creating
a complete and deeply touching character...Singing 'That Old Black Magic' to a noisy crowd of cowpokes who
couldn't care less about her efforts to entertain ...

The film was, perhaps, the splashiest of the year's musicals… It dealt
with the joys, loves and heartaches experienced by a vaudeville family
called the Donahues (spending their lives singing and dancing and
touring) with Merman and Dailey as mother and father, and Ray, Gaynor
and O'Connor as their talented offspring… All of them get to perform a large catalog of ...

River of No Return is one of those movies I can't help but watch when I
see
it on the tube. Marilyn Monroe is very natural in this movie--no
stereotypical blonde stuff here (except that she works as a saloon girl).
In
many ways it's your average western, but I find that the title song and
screen presence of Mitchum and Monroe make up for whatever the plot may
lack

The film, the first filmed in CinemaScope, although the second to be
released, remains as slick and witty as ever. While the three girls chase
rich husbands they somehow end up marrying for love. Personally for me it is Lauren Bacall and William Powell that standout...their witty knowing conversations are a true delight. Mr Powell shows
just why he was so highly regarded. He has a magn...

Marilyn's "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was one of the classic musicals of
the 1950's... She comes into it looking like a winner, and leaves as
one… The picture has been set fully by the tone of her personality… Her
personality infuses every corner of the film as if she has even picked
the scenery to work for her… The movie rises above its pretext, its story, it...

Beauty abounds in "Niagara," a 1953 film starring Marilyn Monroe,
Joseph Cotten, and Jean Peters. There's the beauty and power of Niagara
Falls, spectacularly displayed throughout the movie, and the beauty of
Marilyn Monroe, who is gorgeous in Technicolor. Monroe is the unhappy
wife of the unstable George Loomis, played by an appropriately seedy
Joseph Cotten. It's not clear wh...

What a genius Joseph L Manckiewicz was. A literary script that is
totally accessible. A melodrama for the thinking man. A film that is as
engrossing and entertaining every time you see it. Bette Davis touches
all the raw nerves of her mythological career. Anne Baxter never went
this far. Thelma Ritter became a sort of icon. Marilyn Monroe gives us
a preview of forthcoming attra...
