Really sweet!

I loved this film, and I can't believe there are no other messages on it's board. Marilyn was great in it, and really showed the critics that she could act in this movie (though I think she was great in all her movies). Sure, it's not exactly Oscar material (mind you Don Murray was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar), but it's good fun and very entertaining. I recommend it to everyone, especially fans of Marilyn Monroe. ^_^

Hello three months later...
I would agree. this film has definitely proven that MM can indeed ACT! It is one of my most favorite films! I love the 50s fiming style used. not sure if it was VistaVision or another process.

I note some of the user reviews of this movie are simply unrealistic and are based on the wrong aspects of the film (i.e. Murray and his man handling of Monroe).

I used to be quite the MM fan in my earlier years. I still am but dont get the chance to watch many. My favorites have to be Bus Stop and Some Like it Hot.
A shame she had to get mixed up with Kennedy and various members of the Rat Pack. For I trully believe they had involvement in her 'suicide'.

The film moves me everytime I see it and Marilyn is so great! This movie is one of the reasons why we all care so much about sweet, sweet Marilyn!

As a fan of MM I also find this fun and entertaining, although without her it would be only just 'okay', IMO.
