Re: Marilyn Monroe Movies

we will use this place to list her movies and also a little bit of information pertaining to those movies.

That's a cool idea. I'll start it off with The Misfits. The article is long, but very interesting.

EXCERPT:

For all its emotional power, THE MISFITS, as Levin's film proves, was not at all easy to produce. "It was an anxious set," recalls Lee Jones Schoenburg of Magnum Special Projects. "There was a tremendous amount of tension. First of all, everybody would get there, it was 110 in the shade, and sit around ... Marilyn wouldn't show and wouldn't show, and [we wondered] would it get called off or not? By the time things got going, all sorts of decisions had to be made about scenes to cut and drop." Oddly, neither Huston nor anyone else admonished the unstable Monroe for her constant tardiness (at the time, even though she was married to Miller, she was having an affair with Yves Montand). "That's astonishing because it was John Huston, after all," Levin says. "Okay, Arthur Miller is crumbling in the corner. We understand that he is so emasculated and lost that he can probably do very little about it. He's the writer, not the director. But Huston, in his funny way, was very nonconfrontational. You would think he would be very aggressively expecting her to be on time, but he was rather benign! He too felt you can't rush her, you can't push her -- what's it going to get me to do this? Nothing. It will upset her, so let's just play this thing out."
