My hour with Marilyn
14 January 2020
This surprised me when I discovered it being shown on TV as it was a MM movie previously not known to me. Although it only runs for an hour in black &white, it's packed with a good sense of fun, with charming performances all round. Marilyn's name was on the title credit but it looks like that may have been contrived after she became famous as Adele Jergen's who plays her mother is clearly the lead in this slight story of a burlesque mother and daughter who find love. Rand Brooks, who I remember from TV westerns is the love sick suitor to Marilyn, and who can blame him, she dazzles in this early role, with her stunning smile and languid eyes that the camera loved so much. She also has the opportunity to showcase her appealing voice. We still miss her after nearly 60 years, what's more to say.
