Marilyn's Man (2004)
Can't wait to see it again!
I have been looking forward to this film for months. The passion that this filmmaker has for this project makes me want to give it 10 stars! I thought the strongest aspect of the film were the haunting images of Marilyn and Norma Jeane. I found myself gasping a few times at the seemingly effortless beauty that Marilyn possessed. The story as told by Jim Dougherty unveiled the truth about her life, as well as her transformation from a disadvantaged little girl to a glamorous legend. I was particularly touched by Jim's recount of her when they were first married, and his pure love for Norma Jeane. I was surprised to hear that he didn't think many people really liked Marilyn, and he clearly didn't think much of what he considered an alter personality. This is a must see film for anyone who loves Marilyn or loves a romantic (yet tragic) story line.
