Film Overview

The last days of Marilyn Monroe told in mini-Hollywood-epic style, starring Marilyn herself, along with the Kennedy brothers and mobster Sam Giancana, made entirely from found footage from Marilyn Monroe movies, JFK documentaries, and Star Trek. Based on unauthorized biographies founded upon gossip and hearsay, it is yet another movie the artist tried to make years ago, but failed to complete out of fear of failure and thinking he needed lots of money. A silent movie with subtitles, intended to be reinterpreted with various live and recorded musical scores – this recorded soundtrack by Thomas Shields.
