Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Could not watch the DVD
I could not watch the DVD because my machine was not prepared to read an American DVD.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Blonde
This was a truly amazing movie about Marilyn Monroe. I had seen the movie on Lifetime Movie Network and loved it. I looked everywhere for the movie and was thrilled when I found it on Amazon.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - very good acting...but...
all in all a terrific movie, but i don't feel everything was truthful. one scene has joe dimaggio slapping marilyn across the face, and i'm not buying he ever did that. and also, i think this movie overexagerates on her sex life...i don't think she slept around with as many guys as this movie says...but very compelling and in some scenes poppy montgomery actually does look just like her. but overall the best 'marilyn' movie i've seen and i'm a huge fan of hers, but i felt the movie did a small ...
