12:05 nice eay to put it; she may not be the most talented actress ever but she always had that "it" factor on the big screen; camera loved her, so did public who fell in love with her. Mix that with her misterious death and there you have it - the most iconic Hollywood legend to this day✨️
I loved that you watched this and enjoyed it. There are tons of movies from this era that are just as good. Hope you explore more of them.
Marilyn was a great actress. She played the ditz blonde, but that wasn't her real speaking voice and she was actually very intelligent, albeit lonely and misunderstood.
She has a lot of fun movies. I'd recommend Some Like It Hot, or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes next 😁
She was really a generational talent, easily one of the best comedic actresses ever.
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is Marilyn Monroe's most famous and iconic movie. It's fantastic and fabulous Jane Russell is amazing. Great movie, you'll love it!
@@bryanCJC2105 It is iconic but Seven Year Itch (that famous scene with her white dress going up) and Some Like It Hot (considered the best comedy of 20th century) are equally iconic and famous🙈
All three women got along very well with Bacall & Bogart taking Marilyn under their wing to try and help her deal with her burgeoning fame and the down to earth Betty Grable offering practical advice on how to best handle the press.
Marilyn had been on the ascendant for a couple of years prior to this being featured in ever more prominent roles but this was the third of the one, two, three punch of huge box office successes preceded by “Niagara” and “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” that put her at the very top. She followed this reluctantly with a Western-“River of No Return” costarring Robert Mitchum (interesting side note about that one. When she was the teenage bride of her 1st husband James Dougherty and still known as Norma Jean, Jim worked at the Lockheed airplane plant alongside Mitchum and the two future superstars became acquainted)-that she didn’t want to do, though she was happy to be reunited with Bob Mitchum, but despite her reservations it was also a box office bonanza.
You had mentioned something about Marilyn’s voice in this being her natural one which it wasn’t. “Marilyn Monroe” was her creation including the breathy voice and wide-eyed stare, privately she was a bookish, quiet woman who liked to cook with unfortunately major insecurities and a family history of mental illness.
This film was in a way the passing of the torch. Betty Grable (Loco) has been Fox’s #1 female musical star for about 10 years prior and Marilyn was her successor as Betty had been Alice Faye’s before her. She was an extremely kind woman who did all she could to put the spotlight on MM telling her “I’ve had mine honey, go get yours!” She in fact only made one more film after this, ironically one Marilyn rejected, called “How to Be Very, Very Popular” and then turned to nightclub and stage performances for the rest of her career. When Loco was so insistent that it was Harry James on the radio it was an inside joke. Betty Grable had been married to bandleader Harry James in real life for over a decade.
Lauren Bacall known to all as Betty (her birth name was Betty Perske) was married to Bogart while making this. She was always a cool one, so her natural elegant reserve read very differently onscreen than the other two ladies which provided a nice balance.
William Powell who played the older oil millionaire was a major star of the 30’s, 40’s and into the 50’s though this was his second to last film. He voluntarily retired after his featured role in his next picture “Mr. Roberts” with Henry Fonda and Jack Lemmon.
The reason for the musical performance at the beginning was because this was the first film released in Cinemascope and 20th Century Fox wanted to show off the breath of range it could encompass.
Finally for your next Marilyn movie, I would strongly recommend “Some Like It Hot”, “Niagara” or “Gentleman Prefer Blondes”. They are three of her absolute best. Most of her films were on the lighter side but her final movie “The Misfits” which was written for her by her last husband, Arthur Miller is a fine but very heavy drama.
A little treasure trove of a cast here!
Lauren Bacall was one of the IT girls: her first movie role was at age 19, in "To Have and Have Not", opposite Humphrey Bogart, where the chemistry sizzled and they were married in real life. Here is her iconic moment: ruclips.net/video/MheNUWyROv8/видео.html
Betty Grable was a famous as a pinup girl for the boys overseas. Quite opposite to any hostility to Monroe, she's reported to have encouraged Monroe, saying: "I had mine, now you grab yours."
William Powell was one of the classiest and funniest actors of the Hollywood era. He did a series of movies with Myrna Loy, the Thin Man series, where he was a detective and she was his wife, who helped him along with their lovely little doggie, Asta. I first saw him in a televised showing of "Mr. Roberts", which I think was his last role, and where his suave, gentle confidence won me over: ruclips.net/video/PTQLBv8sgDI/видео.html I have loved him ever since. (Those are Henry Fonda and a very young Jack Lemmon with him).
Our dad, who bore a resemblance to Rory Calhoun, loved to tease that they were half brothers. Calhoun was famous primarily as a cowboy actor, but as you can see, was capable of having fun in urban settings.
Fred Clarke, measles and all, was one of those indispensable supporting actors whose presence is one of the foundations of a great movie. One of those actors you always know and always enjoy but whose name always escapes you. Catch him at his best in "Auntie Mame". I will not do a clip for you: you need to see the whole movie.
Ditto for tax man David Wayne, another of the Fred Clarke style of actor, whose presence makes things better and seldom gets the full credit he deserves. So happy for him to have gotten a spotlight here.
One of my favourite movies!! Happy birthday Marilyn❤️ (it was yesterday)
This film came out 3 months before Marilyn Monroe's signature film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which really shot her to superstardom. During that film she didn't even get a dressing room and was only paid $500 a week against brunette star Jane Russel's $200,000 total. When she asked for a dressing room they said "Remember you're not a star". Her reply " well whatever I am, I am the blonde!" With How To Marry a Millionaire, it was really a Lauren Bacall vehicle (she was a huge star), and Betty Grable who was THE WW2 pin-up girl, and her famous legs were insured for one million dollars. All the women got along famously, Marilyn was well-liked by all her female co-stars in her films, and Betty Grable (who knew her career was on the way out) said to Marilyn on this film "Go get 'em, it's your turn now." Regarding the long opening credits music etc, in those days they didn't have closing credits, the words The End just come up. So they had longer beginnings to account for people coming in late, etc. My suggestion for other Marilyn films are Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like it Hot, and Bus Stop.
Great reaction. Love that you just took it for what is was and had fun with it
So many good lines. My family used "Isn't this what they call...timber" just about every time we saw trees anywhere 😂
This was one of the first movies filmed in CinemaScope or wide screen format, so they really took advantage of those scenic shots.
You'd looove Some Like It Hot.
Again with Marilyn, again with a bit of the "marrying rich" trope, but with a different POV and some hilarious action.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I’m only 31 so my grandma (RIP) use to make fun of me for rewatching this and White Christmas over and over 😂
I think it's fantastic you reacted to this movie, it was in the repertoire of old movies I watched when I was young, it's so charming. Highly recommend Operation Petticoat for future reactions - Cary Grant, Tony Curtis...just wonderful fun!
The older guy that Schatze almost married is played by actor William Powell. He's in my favorite b&w movie series that started with *The Thin Man* in 1934. There are 6 Thin Man movies spanning into the 40's.
You may find this a weird request but 'The Private Life of Henry viii' from 1933 is a really entertaining movie about Henry viii. It is available in a colourised version as well. It is just a great movie with a comic portrayal of the King and his beheadings and wives.
Please, please, please do not watch the colourized version of anything. Movies filmed in black and white were designed in black and white and meant by their creators to be seen in black and white. Colourization is vandalism. That said, "The Private Life of Henry VIII" is worth watching.
I have to say you should try some of the Doris Day comedies from that period. But right back to the 30s there’s some great films, hilarious ones too.
Dialog and director in this movie:🔝🔝🔝
7 year itch next!
Sounds creamy!
More Marilyn movies pls!
The quote "Men Seldom Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses" is attributed to early 20th century American writer, Dorothy Parker. It was published in 1926 in her first book of poetry.
So many great suggestions here already! I'd like to add "What's Up, Doc?", "Pillow Talk" & "The Long, Long Trailer".
Thanks.
This is a good movie and your reactions are always entertaining. I hope to see you react to other Marilyn comedies too, I'd recommend Seven year itch and Some like it hot.
You should watch Some Like It Hot, she's amazing in that, starring next to Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon
I wanna see you react to Mad Max. (The first 1979 movie)
i love watching old movies like this when im upset but this one is one of my favs also airheads is a great movie
