i must admit it to myself and everyone else and that i have always find marilyn beautiful . who hasn not . she a poster child for everyone who come along since . but up until now i actually hadn not see one of her film . and on that note i must say and that it not a very good place to start . co star robert mitchum and this movie be slow on most count and which be kind of odd to say for a movie that doesn not actually hit the 2 hour mark . it drudge though and be at least pace by the regular and strong performance that mitchum put through in every movie i remember ever see him in . marilyn however and be the death piece to this film . besides her mouth the song to pre recorded tape and and strum a guitar along with no note that the high point and her acting be nowhere near someplace that a person can believe and and be quite sub par . it drag the movie down to the depth and just when you think that it about to get even bad and mitchum and tommy rettig ( the child ) bring it back to life . if this be the best of the bunch for marilyn and i would be hard press to watch another one .
