Marilyn Monroe has been gone for over sixty years, and yet people are still talking about her. What, exactly, is the spell she casts on so many? Stunning, exciting to watch, incredibly famous, Monroe lived a very public life and died young, with a sad suddenness. All of this is true, and yet there is so much more to her story. On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide looks past the sensation to the real legacy--her richly varied body of work. Both during her life and following her death, Monroe was dismissed as more of a phenomenon than an actor, often an object of ridicule instead of a performer whose work could be taken seriously. Even when films such as The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot saw immense success, Monroe seldom got her due as the inventive and accomplished performer she was. The truth that lay behind the dazzling surface was that she was one of the hardest working of actors. Rigorously applying both skillful technique and an inherent charisma, she was able to create truly unforgettable performances. In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that even today remain obscure. Besides her films, it also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired--that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.

For Video Edition, Please Click and Subscribe Here: https://youtu.be/IDP5sq-Fa_IRichard Barrios received degrees in both music and film history and worked in both music and film before turning his attention to writing. His first book was the widely acclaimed A SONG IN THE DARK: THE BIRTH OF THE MUSICAL FILM, winner of the Theatre Library Association Prize and reissued in 2009 in an extensively revised second edition. Barrios’s second book, SCREENED OUT: PLAYING GAY IN HOLLYWOOD FROM EDISON TO STONEWALL, was the subject of a month-long film series on Turner Classic Movies programmed by Barrios, who also co-hosted the series with Robert Osborne. For his third book, Barrios returned to the musical genre with DANGEROUS RHYTHM: WHY MOVIE MUSICALS MATTER. This work led the Philadelphia Inquirer to comment that “Barrios knows this business inside and out, upside and down. He can turn a spiffy phrase…and even his footnotes are fun.” In 2017, he renewed his association with Turner Classic Movies for still another well-received book on musicals, the lavishly-produced MUST-SEE MUSICALS: 50 SHOW-STOPPING MOVIES WE CAN’T FORGET. Mining studio records, scripts, drafts (including cut scenes), censor notes, reviews, and recollections of viewers, Barrios paints our fullest picture yet of how gays and lesbians were portrayed by the dream factory, warning that we shouldn't congratulate ourselves quite so much on the progress movies have made since Stonewall.  Order HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Screened-Out-Playing-Hollywood-Stonewall/dp/041592328X
