Marilyn Monroe Movie:

Editorial Review:
We Remember Marilyn is one of the most thorough documentaries available on Monroe. Monroe's mother's life is described, as well as Monroe's childhood, modeling, romantic relationships, plastic surgery, three marriages, life in films, and personality including her shrewd comments directed at Joan Crawford's criticisms. This documentary is narrated by John Christopher Hyke and Monroe's words are spoken by the voice of Trudi Jo Marie Keck. However, the use of Marilyn's interviews and book My Story are highly effective and personal. There are also interviews with Jim Dougherty (Monroe's first husband), Jeanne Carmen (Monroe's model friend), and Robert Cornthwaite (fellow actor). This documentary is filled with archive footage including that from her films and many rare extras. One gets to see Monroe when she was a model, in early commercials, at premieres, award show film, entertaining the troops, in interviews when she was famous, in film taken on the sets of her films, in a video from her announcement of her divorce from Joe DiMaggio, in a video from a hospital visit, and in footage from the president's birthday party. Overall, this two hour documentary is exceptionally well done and a must have for Marilyn Monroe fans.
