MARILYN MONROE FAVORITES

MARILYN MONROE
I picked up this DVD set at BJ’s Warehouse for $7.99. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955), and Some Like It Hot (1959) look great on these DVDs. Marilyn Monroe dominated the decade of the Fifties. Of course, the fame took a personal toll on the actress. But these four movies show a star at the prime of her career. If you’re a Marilyn Monroe fan, pick up this bargain set! What’s your favorite Marilyn Monroe movie?

    SOME LIKE IT HOT–although she was playing the sexy blonde stereotype, Billy Wilder and the actors around her made it work for her. I also like her in THE MISFITS, especially the first half (before the movie goes way over- the- top in sentimentality and symbolism).

    I also liked her brief appearances in one of my favorite movies, ALL ABOUT EVE, where she played “Miss Casswell,” a “graduate of the Copacabana School of Dramatic Arts.” She was pretty funny.

    I should also mention her demented turn in DON’T BOTHER TO KNOCK.

    I’m not a fan, but if you forced me to watch one of her films, it would be The Misfits. Of the four on your set, I’d probably watch The Seven Year Itch, for Ewell’s performance.

      Sergio, there are several Marilyn Monroe packages available. This four-DVD collection hit my “sweet spot” being priced at $7.99. That’s less than $2 a movie!
