This clip is from the 1950 Western musical comedy movie 'A Ticket to Tomahawk'. Dan Dailey and Anne Baxter had starring roles. This is one of Marilyn's earliest roles, Josh.

A definite 'curio' Esmee. I'm not sure Monroe was a proficient actor either. Her allure was in her glamour and seductive personality. I agree. ....She is just one of the chorus girls here.
@@MinstrelSurfer I admit to being a non-admirer of Monroe, and I detest the creepy male cult that grew up round her, epitomized by Norman Mailer's yucky potboiler. Like Rita Hayworth before her, she suffered from men inscribing their fantasies on her: sex kitten/ goddess, aspiring intellectual, tragic victim, Camelot courtesane. Unlike Hayworth, a superb dancer, Marilyn was good for wiggling, giggling, breathy whispering, deadpan stooging against men coming on to her and not a lot else. Her appearance in earlier days was coarse-grained, and the later 'aethereal' quality lauded by her necrophiliac fandom to me smacks ( pun) of 'heroin chic'. I find a comedienne such as Judy Holliday- or Monroe's obvious model, Jean Harlow- more forceful, and a classical type such as Kim Novak more beautiful. But the 1950s was a dry spell for female stars, and Marilyn has been burdened with more acclaim than a cold appraisal of her mostly underwhelming movies invites. I prefer 'symbols' of this and to act as well, or at least do something clever. Marilyn was literally a poseuse.
WOW such energy ! a great pick-me up . A treat to watch
Dan Dailey always adds energy in his movies. I agree with you, Brian.....this clip is indeed a 'pick-me-up! Glad you enjoy it.
Fun!!!
What movie is this from? I didn't know Marilyn and Dan Dailey appeared in a film together before There's No Business Like Show Business.

is there a limit on number of words ?

A curio. Monroe does not stand out, but she never became a proficient dancer.
