Things I did not know about Maryln. Love her movies

Things I did not know about Marylyn.Love her movies. They do tell a story about her real life.


After reading about NormaJeane I do believe she was enormously talented

I was so interested in NormaJeane and her psychological background. I read most of the major autobiographies. I do think this woman was driven. I think she made some bad decisions choosing a lifestyle which including drugs. In her days they did not know long term effects of any drug much less barbiturates. Certainly her alcohol use with the drugs truely made her Hollywood's child. I found her a mass of conflicting impulses. She never really bonded to the classical female role. Early in her life she did, until ambition won. She was extravagently beautiful. She could not nuture female relationships, probably due to her mother's dismal contributions to her upbringing. These movies reflect what she became. What she had strived for all her life. I enjoyed them because of her true talent and remarkable beauty. I was too young when they were released.

The Best of Marilyn Monroe

As of yet, I have only watched 3 of the films in this set: The Seven Year Itch, River of No Return, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The other films appear to be some of the best from her filmography, and I'm assuming that most people interested in her will know the films anyway. I'll thus skip the movie reviews.

The Packaging is basically what I assumed it would be: A sturdy box that is used to hold 6 DVD movies. The outer case is really nice looking, and it makes for a nice display piece on the shelf.

The individual movies are in regular DVD cases, all with individual artwork (featuring the original poster artwork). They are much nicer looking than DVD cases from the Diamond Collection. The only thing that bothers me is that the screen-captures on the rear-DVD art are in B&W, even though some of the movies are in color.

The picture of the films look much nicer than I'd expect from such old movies. They still have that classic-cinema look - you can tell they're old, but everything is crisp, there's no dust, etc.

My only big complaint is that the DVD's don't seem to have much in the area of bonus materials. The Seven Year Itch is the only one with anything besides restoration comparisons and still galleries. One smaller complaint is that the DVD's (besides River and Final Years) don't have booklets with production info.

Overall, it was well worth the price. My box got a tad dinged in the shipping - Amazon didn't put much padding in the box - but as far as the actual product, it would be a great gift for a film fan.

Good Buy

The movie set arrived earlier than expected and it was in great condition, none of the disks were scratched and the box was nice. Overall, this was a good buy, and I would buy from this person again.
