Marilyn Monroe barely makes an appearance in this thoroughly dull B movie about a failed Senator who comes home to take over the local newspaper. Monroe plays a secretary at the paper with only a couple of scenes in the entire film. Unfortunately for Home Town Story, Monroe is by far the most engaging part of the movie. The rest of the film’s story...
While the title Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! may be memorable, Marilyn Monroe's appearancein the film is anything but. In a truly blink-and-you'll-miss-it manner, Marilyn Monroe briefly walks behind star June Haver as their characters leave a church. Marilyn Monroe manages to get a single line in as her character leaves the frame, greeting June Haver's ...
Marilyn Monroe makes her final uncredited appearance in this boxing drama from The Great Escape director John Sturges and co-starring Khan himself, Ricardo Montalban. Monroe plays model Dusty Ledoux, who has a date during the film with star Dick Powell. Unfortunately for Monroe and viewers alike, the date lasts less than a minute before Powell is c...
Marilyn Monroe has a very small supporting role in the Mickey Rooney starring roller derby movie, The Fireball. There are very few reasons to attempt to track down this obscure film. One of which is to see a truly offbeat lead performance from a 30-year-old Mickey Rooney trying to play a teenager. The other is to hear Marilyn Monroe use a more natu...
Dangerous Years has Marilyn Monroe’s first credited role, as a waitress called Evie at the roadside restaurant, The Gopher Hole. Monroe’s scenes are over early in the film and the rest of Dangerous Years’ runtime is dedicated to the trial of gang leader Danny Jones, who is accused of murdering teacher Jeff Carter. Dangerous Years is a relatively av...
Love Happy's issues largely center around the great Groucho Marx. Unlike the Marx Brothers' better, earlier work, such as Duck Soup or A Night at the Opera, Groucho, Harpo, and Chico never share the screen together as a trio. Groucho Marx, unfortunately, has little more than a cameo appearance that’s almost literally phoned in. However, one of his ...
For such a scant amount of screen time, Marilyn Monroe does get the opportunity to (briefly) show off her performance skills in A Ticket To Tomahawk. She, alongside several other actresses, performs a fun little dance number. While she is onscreen, Marilyn Monroe steals the spotlight as the dancer in the yellow dress with her signature blonde hair....
We're Not Married is an anthology comedy centered around five different couples who learn, due to unforeseen circumstances, that their marriages have become technically null and void. Marilyn Monroe stars alongside David Wayne as Annabel and Jeff Norris, the second couple of the film. Annabel Norris is the winner of the Mrs. Mississippi beauty page...
Let's Make It Legal was co-written by comedy legend I.A.L Diamond, whose other work, including Monkey Business, which has Cary Grantco-starring alongside Monroe, and Some Like It Hot, places much higher on this list. Unfortunately, Let's Make It Legal does not match the quality of those other two Diamond-Monroe collaborations, even if Monroe has a ...
As Young As You Feel is a fine, if slight, comedy about an old man who impersonates the boss of a motor company in an attempt to avoid forced retirement. It once again sidelines Marilyn Monroeinto a small role as a secretary. Unlike some of her earliest roles, she does get a chance to display some of her comedic talents, especially when she sticks ...
