    1 out of 5 stars Worst Book Ever Written on Marilyn   February 23, 2005
    "Tee" (LA)
    5 out of 5 found this review helpful

    This very dated feminist criticism against Marilyn Monroe and her films is totally inappropiate for the Pyramid illustated movies series. Mellen's text boils over with hostility toward Marilyn, ridiculing virtually all of her film performances and only praising brief moments in a film. Even the book's dedication contains a slam against Marilyn. I wonder what Ms. Mellen thought when the queen bee of feminists, Gloria Steinem, came out with a VERY sympathetic book to Marilyn a decade later. If you are a Marilyn completist, you might want this book but make it one of your LAST purchases.


    3 out of 5 stars Feminist viewpoint   March 20, 2001
    6 out of 7 found this review helpful

    This book provides a feminist viewpoint to Marilyn's films and life. When the book was written in the 1970s, the author provided a fresh insight into Marilyn. Now it might be considered "old hat" since so many authors now take the same viewpoint. Remember, Marilyn was not especially admired by women when she died. This book is written by a woman who is sympathetic to Marilyn's life and desire to improve herself. This book is valuable to those who are Marilyn collectors. Otherwise, pass on this one.
