SUMMARY:Classic Film Series: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
DESCRIPTION:Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a 1953 American musical comedy film based on the 1949 stage musical of the same name. It was directed by Howard Hawks and stars Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe\, with Charles Coburn\, Elliott Reid\, Tommy Noonan\, George Winslow\, Taylor Holmes and Norma Varden in supporting roles. \nThe film is filled with comedic situations and musical numbers\, choreographed by Jack Cole\, while the music was written by Hoagy Carmichael\, Harold Adamson\, Jule Styne and Leo Robin. The songs by Styne and Robin are from the Broadway show\, while the songs by Carmichael and Adamson were written especially for the film. Despite the film’s title\, Monroe was paid her usual contract salary of $500 a week\, while Russell\, then the better known actress\, earned $200\,000. \nWhile Russell’s down-to-earth\, sharp wit has been observed by most critics\, it was Monroe’s turn as the gold-digging Lorelei Lee for which the film is often remembered.[4] Monroe’s rendition of the song “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and her pink dress are considered iconic\, and the performance has inspired homages by Madonna\, Beyoncé\, Geri Halliwell\, Kylie Minogue\, Nicole Kidman\, Margot Robbie\, Anna Nicole Smith\, Christina Aguilera\, Ariana Grande\, and James Franco. \nBorn Norma Jeane Mortenson (June 1\, 1926 – August 4\, 1962)\, Marilyn Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage. Famous for playing comedic characters\, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for only a decade\, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2020) by the time of her death in 1962. Long after her death\, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Marilyn Monroe: Niagara
DESCRIPTION:This film noir production\, starring Marilyn Monroe\, Joseph Cotten and Jean Peters\, tells the story of an ordinary couple on an overdue vacation who witness the distressing and suspicious actions of another couple staying in a neighboring tourist cabin overlooking Niagara Falls.  Ray and Polly Cutler\, on a delayed honeymoon\, become unwillingly involved in the troubled and volatile marriage of George and Rose Loomis.  The incredible film scenery lends itself to this plot filled with illicit love and murder! \nTrue to its title\, the 1953 thriller in color spares no effort to make Niagara Falls the star of its suspenseful\, sometimes spectacular story. The movie starts and finishes with dramatic images of the falls\, emphasizing their power\, beauty\, and potential danger.  Making the falls a constant presence was the deliberate strategy of the filmmakers; almost every scene takes place in the immediate vicinity of the falls. \nTo make strong impressions in this setting\, the human stars have their work cut out for them. The one who succeeds best is\, not surprisingly\, Marilyn Monroe as the wicked wife\, giving a nicely controlled performance\, blending the sultry and the sinister without upstaging or eclipsing her costars. They’re gifted Hollywood actors:  Joseph Cotten plays the tormented husband and Jean Peters plays the honeymooning bride in a neighboring cabin – but they don’t have the magnetism that made Monroe a unique screen personality. \nBorn Norma Jeane Mortenson (June 1\, 1926 – August 4\, 1962)\, Marilyn Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage. Famous for playing comedic characters\, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for only a decade\, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2020) by the time of her death in 1962.  Long after her death\, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Marilyn Monroe: Some Like It Hot
DESCRIPTION:Filmed in 1959 and rated one of the all-time best films\, this screwball comedy stars not only Marilyn Monroe but Tony Curtis\, Jack Lemmon\, Joe E. Brown\, and George Raft. After witnessing a Mafia murder in Chicago\, slick saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy\, Jerry (Jack Lemmon)\, improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women\, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. They remind themselves while vying for the attention of Sugar (Marilyn Monroe)\, that they are posing as women and cannot pursue her. The film initially met with mixed reviews due to the notoriety of the cross dressing at the time\, although it won 4 Academy Awards. \nRunning the gamut from broad slapstick to sly sexual innuendo\, Some Like It Hot was considered a risky venture when it was released in 1959. This was due to its outrageous sense of humor\, which had the potential to offend viewers and risk being viewed as an exercise in bad taste. Yet it was also one of the most successful films of the year and continues to elicit wild laughter\, even after repeated viewings. Director Billy Wilder\, who was best known (at that time) for dark dramas like Double Indemnity (1944) and Sunset Boulevard (1950)\, elicited dead-on performances from Lemmon\, Curtis (who also does a perfect Cary Grant imitation) and Marilyn Monroe.  Wilder mixed black comedy\, nostalgia for the silent era\, over-the-top physical humor\, and a fine sense of period detail to achieve the funniest movie he ever made. \n———————————————— \nBorn Norma Jeane Mortenson (June 1\, 1926 – August 4\, 1962)\, Marilyn Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage. Famous for playing comedic characters\, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for only a decade\, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2020) by the time of her death in 1962.  Long after her death\, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Marilyn Monroe: The Misfits
DESCRIPTION:The film tells the dramatic story of a sensitive divorcee\, who gets mixed up with three cowboys who are clinging to the ways of the past by roping mustangs in the 1960 Nevada desert.  Directed by John Huston\, the film follows the difficult relationships among a newly divorced woman (Marilyn Monroe)\, her friendly landlady (Thelma Ritter)\, an over-the-hill cowboy (Clark Gable) with whom she falls in love\,  the cowboy’s tow truck-driving and plane-flying friend (Eli Wallach)\, and their rodeo-riding\, bronc-busting friend (Montgomery Clift). \nAdapted by Arthur Miller from his own short story of the same name\, (as a vehicle for his then-wife Marilyn Monroe)\, the making of The Misfits was troublesome on several accounts\, not the least of which was the breakdown of their marriage.  Nonetheless\, the film received critical acclaim for its script and performances\,and many critics now consider it to be a masterpiece. \nUnhappily\, this was the last film for both Gable and Monroe.  Gable became ill two days after filming and died ten days later.  Monroe and Miller were divorced within weeks after completion of the film; she died of a drug overdose 18 months later. \nBorn Norma Jeane Mortenson (June 1\, 1926 – August 4\, 1962)\, Marilyn Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage. Famous for playing comedic characters\, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for only a decade\, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2020) by the time of her death in 1962.  Long after her death\, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture.
