Comments:
Glimpse
into what could have been a wonderful movie. When
I got around to watching AMC's biography on Marilyn
Monroe, they mentioned the restoration of this film
and showed as much of it as they could. It was a real
treat to see it, something that was unfinished but
could have been really something. I found myself drawn
to it, wondering what would happen next, when the
director's abrupt "Cut!" brought me back
to reality. Marilyn Monroe's public tragedy began
with her being fired from this film, and shortly afterward
(after being signed back on to continue it by the
company) she died. A last glimpse into the on-screen
life of a movie legend.
