Blobbo X Not much to recommend spending 60 minutes of life on. (Marilyn Monroe only on for maybe 2 minutes.) (Her pretty.) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Audience Member I liked how Mike Washburn changed his views on corporate profit. Like most people, they need tragedy to see a new perspective. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Presents a point of view that cannot be easily dismissed. Marjorie Reynolds is very beautiful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's pretty boring and forgettable, and is only worth watching for Marilyn Monroe's cameo role (current DVDs list her as the star). I'm a huge fan of movies from Hollywood's golden age, but, like any era, this is proof that only the truly good ones become remembered. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member decent little flick. it was interesting to see Marilyn Monroe in a part before Hollywood turned her in into a sex symbol Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Senator launches smear campaigns against big corporations with his uncle's newspaper, only for American industry to save his sister's life during a mine collapse. Marilyn Monroe appears in an assertive supporting role. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
