Favorite Marilyn film: THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955) Without a doubt my all time
favorite Marilyn film.
Favorite Marilyn role: Lorelei Lee (GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES) - Perfection in this movie
Favorite Marilyn co-star: toss up between Jane Russell in Blondes and Tom Ewell
in Seven Year Itch, hence my choice of films today
Films of Marilyn seen: 15 out of 33 films
Today's films: THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955) and GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953)
The Seven Year Itch is a wonderful comedy by Billy Wilder, who excelled at these kind of films. Well he actually excelled at all kinds of films because he was that awesome. And so is Marilyn who is simply cast as The Girl, an upstairs neighbor to a husband (Tom Ewell) who daydreams a lot about meeting and romancing women..all women. The action heats up when his wife and kid go away for the summer and he starts chatting with The Girl. All in good natured fun but it's a treat to watch how things unfold.
Rating: ***** out of ***** stars

I just bought "Some Like It Hot" the other day and will probably force my hubby to sit through it with me later:) I think "Bus Stop" was absolutely one of her best films ever, she was so good in it! I looked for it at the movie store we went to but they didn't have it, I'll have to order it off Amazon! RIP Marily!!!
I loved The Seven Year Itch and Gentlemen Prefer Blonds is in my instant queue.
I nominate you for the Liebster Award. Please visit my blog for more information.
It's a great opportunity. I can't wait to hear from you!
Cheers,

I love all of Marilyn's films..
I love her and also Audrey Hepburn. Although she is always smoking in her films, I really really like them both.
