MARILYN MONROE - IN THE MOVIES DVD: Marilyn Monroe 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 film goers worldwide as the luminescent butterfly flitted across the screen.

Like some luminescent butterfly she flitted across the screen, dazzling film goers worldwide, before dying at the early age 36 - her image forever imprinted into our collective memory. Why does this heartbreakingly beautiful and emotionally fragile star continue to haunt our dreams, more than 50 years after her apparent suicide? It s a question that preoccupies academics, critics, film historians and legions of Monroe fans, who seemingly never tire of analysing and documenting her life and career in exacting detail. Love goddess, dumb blonde, cultural icon, Dream Factory casualty - every year more labels get affixed to Monroe by writers alternately burnishing and deconstructing her legend as the greatest and most tragic of Hollywood sex symbols. Marilyn Monroe - In The Movies pays tribute to this magical star, hailed by Bus Stop director Joshua Logan as the most authentic film actress since Garbo.
