Marilyn Monore is perhaps the best-known American woman in history. Her enduring grip on the public's imagination, her raw sex appeal, and her endearing comedic roles dazzled filmgoers wordwide as the luminescent butterly flitted across the screen. This retrospective by film critic Timothy Knight examines her films in an insightful and entertaining text, accompanied by hundreds of film stills.
