MONROE DOCTRINE!!!

*MARILYN MONROE: BEYOND THE LEGEND (1986),
A comprehensive, award-winning look at one of Hollywood's most
talented and beautiful legends, MARILYN MONROE (1926 - 1962). This
survey, which does not dwell on her private life, concentrates on the
development of her star persona, with excerpts from most of her films.
Here is the "real" Marilyn, drawn from some of her greatest moments on
film - GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953), HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE
(1953), SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959), THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955), BUS STOP
(1956), THE MISFITS (1961) - and more. Here too are the earliest
films, the home-movies, rare archival footage, and the recollections
from those who knew her best, including DON MURRAY, SUSAN STRASBERG,
SHELLEY WINTERS, CELESTE HOLM, SHEREE NORTH ( - one-time "protégée" of
wacko HOWARD HUGHES), seen recently at SPLODGE! in EXCUSE MY DUST
[1951] ), JOSHUA LOGAN and ROBERT MITCHUM.

"This fine film looks at the brighter side of the Monroe story: her
charm and talent, and her fighting spirit." -Wall Street Journal.

"An appreciation of a radiant film actress and the complicated young
woman who worked so hard to put across that sense of wonder and
delight that beguiled the world." -TimesPicayune.

"Treats Marilyn's career with dignity, tact: not once in this
commendable one-hour documentary do you hear the words "Kennedy,"
"barbiturate" or "suicide." Instead of rehashing of her political
liaisons, drug use and other affairs of the heart and mind, film fans
get a look at her brilliant career and what made her one of the
best-ever..." -Miami News.

Prod Co: Wombat Productions/Devillier-Donegan Enterprises. Dir: Gene
Feldman. Prod, scr: Gene Feldman, Suzette Winter. Narr: RICHARD
WIDMARK. 60 mins. NFVLS.


*FIVE TIMES MARILYN (1973),
A brief, excised segment from two MARILYN MONROE 'nudies' from the
early 'forties (when she was about 19) is accompanied by the song I'M
THROUGH WITH LOVE, ( which she sings in SOME LIKE IT HOT [1959] ), and
repeated five times. (There is some dispute as to whether the woman in
the extract is Marilyn; - Conner insists that she IS the Real Monroe.)
The voyeurism is relentless.
http://cs.art.rmit.edu.au/projects/media/cteq/v1/FiveTimesMarilyn.html
Filmmaker: Bruce Conner. Song: I'M THROUGH WITH LOVE, by J. A .
Livingston, Matt Malneck, Gus Kahn, sung by MARILYN MONROE . 13 mins.
NFVLS.


*GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953),
Lorelei Lee, the original "Material Girl" and her gal-pal Dorothy are
just "Two Little Girls from Little Rock" - lounge singers on a
transatlantic cruise, working their way to Paris, and enjoying the
company of any eligible men they might meet along the way, (even
though "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"). A musical comedy about
two showgirls' exploitation of uniformly sexless males, for different,
if complimentary reasons. Lorelei's money-obsessed outlook is
paralleled by Dorothy's sex obsession.
http://us.imdb.com/Trailers?0045810 Director: HOWARD HAWKS. Cast:
MARILYN MONROE, JANE RUSSELL, Charles Coburn, Tommy Noonan. 91 mins.
