Writer/Director: Arthur Pierson
Iconic blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe plays the secretary
to a small-town newspaper editor who begins a campaign to
prove that corrupt big business has taken over City Hall!
Gee, where would this movie be without Marilyn Monroe and her two minute cameo appearance.
I kept waiting for her to make an entrance, but you have to wait for an hour to see her hiney moving for ten meters...and a star is born!
Marilyn Monroe was so professional. What a great secretary!
Not professional in dress and gait; and the skipper lusting for her while sucking his pipe...and she knew and played him, "professionally" of course. Story had good potential if better written and developed 💐
Oh skipper, I would have made Marilyn my little buddy! 😂
Great Movie a real classic the old days were so much better !!!!!!!!
It is a great movie. In addition, Marilyn Monroe has an outstanding performance.
I would have loved to have seen MM more serious big roles like this but as a leading lady or co-star.
I think she would have done very well as Eve in All About Eve. She was young and it would have made more sense. They could have died her hair to a light brown for the role,then after Eve became a star put MM back blonde for the awards scene.
dyed
she was blonde as a kid and a light brown. Elizabeth Taylor was the Brunette and MM said they made her lighter and lighter to white. The use a teeny paintbrush and I've never seen regrowth- she had to spend hours in the chair for hair n make up. Love her.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie!
Always loved Alan Hale Jrs laugh !! I was watching another old flick and the guy's laugh sounded exactly the same .....turns out it was Alan Hale Sr !!
THE SKIPPER BEFORE HE BOUGHT THE S.S. MINNOW WITH GILLIGAN WAS ALWAYS LOVABLE! ALWAYS TRUST A MAN WITH A BIG APPETITE!
Actually that's Skipper's father. Yes the resemblance is uncanny
@@timcountis9368 So it is. The dark hair threw me
He was great in "It Happened On 5th Ave", too.
so you want me to trust a man that runs you aground on a ship in the middle of nowhere, then has absolutely NO plan for getting you home safely? OK, sure...
Brilliant idea! Take your class of little kids to an abandoned mine.
Given the sick behaviour of some of the schoolkids near me, they should take the whole school to an abandoned mine and seal them in.
Without enough adult supervision and allowing the distraction of a puppy (without a proper leash) to go along?
We would take them. 2 the. Mine. After. We cut a rug. At. The. Halifax. Piano. Bar. Laura
MARILYN life was difficult,complicate,but she is now ETERNAL. LEGEND,,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❣️❣️💅🏻💅🏻
The only parts they’re leaving out is the vast corruption and incompetence that goes on in the business world! And no one is ever held accountable for mistakes! Politics is Not funny! It’s depressing! Both sides STINK! I can’t believe we can’t come up with better people!
In politics, both sides are controlled by the same interests, and your vote counts for nothing.
@@None-zc5vg Bingo!
If someone says something you don't like after you get off of a United flight, just punch them in the face.
Jon B That was a great comment! Sorry for being so late!
Jon B That was a great punch though! Short and quick!
Lol!!
Marjorie Reynolds was the sweetheart in this film.
Thank you for acknowledging the Real
Star of this film! I've enjoyed every film I've seen her in, esp "Holiday Inn." Check her out on Wikipedia. Sad end.
Still miss her.

It's a Wonder that Actresses Like #MarilynMonroe still remains as Glamorous Today in Motion Pictures #HomeTownStory 1951 #Fan
I almost didn't recognise The Skipper away from the Island and without his Little Buddy!
Thanks Pizza, you're *The Best!*
28:28 Marilyn Monroe
Actually around 15.00 minutes starts the first scene with Monroe!
...try again, she is the secretary and has several scenes with the first at: @15:15
I’ve seen good movies with M Monroe, but cannot see what everyone sees/finds so attractive about her. I have a really hard time with the way she talks.
Newspaper boy riding a Cushman scooter at 12:16, my dad had a three wheel cargo Cushman selling ice cream. Great dozer work by the Cat D8 operator at 46:00 when the mine collapse and Skipper (Alan Hale jr.) of Gilligan's Island help with directions. A lot going on with this movie, ahead of its time with concerns on pollution, corporate profits and news trustworthiness.
Thanks for a positive comment and reminiscing! Need more if that in the comments section, in my opinion. 🙂👏👍👍
Thanks🍕Flix!👍🏻❤️
I don't know why Norma Jean gets so much coverage for this film--she's barely in it, and her part could have been eliminated. Marjorie Reynolds is far prettier and far more talented and is one of the main actors in this interesting story about people
who bite the hand that feeds them.
38:10 a three minute explanation of business basics for success (build value past the initial price)
"Yes the buyer has a built-in profit." , don't forget.

Success forthe business, to be sure, A patient cured is a customer lost.
Corruption everywhere in the 50's. Can u imagine? Good thing that doesn't happen anymore. (end sarcasm)
History repeats.
Corruption is happening again now, in the millennium.
60 70 years after...2021 2022 2023 2024...!!!
@@kimlienle8783 - Breaking news....Corruption has ALWAYS happened...since 1776 and before then. Ecclesiastics 1:9 - There is nothing new under the sun." You can believe that.
A REAL DUD.
nice lecture on Capitalism at the 38th minute.
The SKIPPER! @15:00 ...and look who he has as a secretary! No wonder he wanted off that damn island so bad!
In those days they all started somewhere and were groomed by the studios much as they showed promise . Alan Hale JR here later the skipper Gilligans Island . It is great to see the beginning films and appearances they all first did before some of them becoming the fav huge world stars . Have two early silent films with a early appearances Valentino before he really became Valentino . Paul Newman’s first screen appearance in horrendous costuming and role , The Silver Chalice with Virginia Mayo . And a early Sean Connery role with hair and Lana Turner .
Gilligan's Island was not the height of Hale's career. He appeared in many many movies in the 1940s and 1950s. One of his best roles (in my opinion) was as a merchant marine in the North Atlantic with Humphrey Bogart. Good war film based on the challenges of lend/lease and keeping the allies supplied during World War Two.
wonderful movie!!!
I was ready to turn off this movie at about the 30 minute mark. I thought it was headed in the direction of being a diatribe on the supposed merits of communism. I'm glad I returned to view the remainder of the film the next day. Especially noteworthy was the scene in which Donald Crisp as head of McFarland Manufacturing tries to explain to Jeffrey Lynn the benefits the for profit system accrues to virtually all segments of society. It would have been very surprising to see a film espousing leftist propaganda coming from MGM with Louis B. Mayer, a staunch anticommunist as head of production.
ddkoda Sad that all life means to you is Liberal or Conservative 😞
….to "espouse" the merits of capitalism as he dumps his waste water into the town's drinking water to save a few bucks and pass his hidden costs to the citizens he loves so much in the form of birth defects and early, painful death due to cancer and liver issues....but hey God is on your side, right? ...damn godless commies! We need to get back to work and cut more Federal "red tape" like that clean water act; fix it so we can legalize Gerrymandering and allow unlimited corporate contributions to our reps in D.C. ...oh wait you have already seen to that!
I liked the part in the hospital when Crisp's character says, "oh, that's my motor!". Lol. So corny! Priorities man! The little girl will live.
Yeah, Louis B Mayer, what a sweetheart. MGM the last studio to pull out of Hitler's Germany because he didn't want to give up the revenue from the German market. How many actors did he blacklist? What a jerk .
Great movie. Perhaps lost on some is that Big Business profits now 70 years later are more out of wack as lawmakers have fallen further into the pockets of corporations and wealthy capitalists. That's the sad commentary of the day!
whenever i think of the definition of hale, as in hale in hearty, i think of Alan Hale!! the perfect example of hale n hearty!!
Hurray 😂😢 for marilyn monroe such a good actress who passed away before her time 😢😢😢😢😢 thanks 😅😅
Ahhh- the Skipper~ he was always a jovial sort.
The business man who shared his theory about customer profit, tried to make his point, but was mistaken, or deceptive" by calling a benefit from using a car or typewriter profit.
While the profit of a person selling a car or typewriter, makes profit by receiving money. Which allows this person to invest in, or buy anything, that causes this person making more profit with it. And would always be better off than the customer, money-wise. After all, who pays taxes?
I believe, that no one, in this year 2023, would buy that businessman's theory.
Do you?
The skipper and a movie star
Capitalism works! Profits to the CUSTOMER!!! Awesome film.
at minute 38:00 great lesson KIDS on CAPITALISM...gotta love it...this is what WOKE is REALLY all about.
Now there is something I haven't missed these past 60 years. Dogs chasing me on my bike. Actually came off once damn dog actually caught my pants leg.

I love the old flicks and expected this to be good. It started out good. Then the hero, the new young editor of the paper, sez, "We need a good crusade to increase circulation!" and it's not a minor point. It's plot central. That's what the writer of this sad commentary believed. When the hero finds his first crusade, his first headline is, "Business Profits Too High!" I was stunned. Communism had insinuated itself this deeply into our fabric. What did the young Commie think business did with those profits he excoriated? The real answer is they built another factory and hired two hundred more people. They paid dividends to their investors, most of whom were retirees living on pensions. The worst thing about this is it's Obama's screed, too. He grew up hating people who had money, when he was dipping ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Both his parents were communists. His 'uncle,' the guy who took him under his wind because he didn't have a father around was a revolutionary, full of hatred and dogma. The problem is what results from the stupidity. In the first quarter of 2014, Americas economy Shrunk. That's the result.

However, your comments don't include an alternative to socialism and capitalism, both are based on irrational selfishness and both result in an ultra greedy selfish clan and the vast majority of wage slaves working to pay for the property of the greedy few. How long has it been since you heard the words anti-trust, small business and family business, etc.. The alternative was laid out by G.K. Chesterton and other very wise rational selfish people truly interested in advancing standards of living for all human beings, not just a well connected few. Shalom...
MALARKEY.....about President Obama!!!
You realize after a while, it never goes away, just recedes, goes back underground, until another generation comes along.
minimum wage? maximum profits!
@@bogthing1
The same could be said about Fascism - and some _physical_ diseases, as well.
We watch tons of old movies, but have yet to see such a piece of drivel...
I normally give films a thumbs-up, even when marginal, but I couldn't resist giving this a rare thumbs down.
On a scale of 0-10, with 10 being outstanding...Acting=2 Story line=1 and special effects, a 2.
Especially revolting is this guy's fiancee's "mouth manipulations"...UGH! And Alan Hale's fake laughter....Cringeworthy.
We wish we could have this hour of our lives back!!
MM 15:20 to 19:00 and a couple of other minor sightings.
Sure turned out to be a pro-corporate propaganda film. Wonder if any of the actors regret staring in it?
Capitalism is the ONLY honest system. Unfortunately too many capitalists abuse and pervert it, which gives it a bad name in the eyes of many who are unable to distinguish between the components of a system and the actions of humans.
Interesting that someone was thinking about clean water in the 1950s. 70 years ago; wish we had acted then ...
A pretty good grade B second feature. I've seen much worse than this one. Does anyone know what happened to the original opening and closing sountrack music because a fake soundtrack has been inserted into this film and every print I've seen?
Why do you believe the original soundtrack was replaced if it’s the only one you’ve ever heard?
@@PizzaFLIX The music soundtrack at the beginning and the end have been cut and replaced with some sort of dubbed in piano score. I'm guessing (don't know for sure) that because it was made by General Motors Film department (released by MGM) some of the music had some sort of copyright limitations that lingered longer than the time it fell into the public domain. I'm not saying all the soundtrack, just the beginning and ending. This is no reflection on PizzaFlix, which we all love and are thankful for but rather just an observation on how silly and sometimes vague some copyright stipulations can be. Over the years I've come across PD episodes of Bonanza and The Beverly Hillbillies where the opening music sountrack has been replaced probably because while some shows have fallen into the public domain the theme songs may still be renewed and therefore royalties may need to be paid out.
@@seasonstudios I replied before I listened to music. I surely sounds like stock replacement music.
@@PizzaFLIX I've looked everywhere I can think of to find an explanation for the replacement but to no avail. One review said the music was by Louis Forbes and also Max Steiner but mainly Forbes. Perhaps the "legal" answer lies somewhere there. Some prints have the MGM logo and others do not. Again, thank you PizzaFlix for showing this curious gem on your movie channel.
@@seasonstudios the film was shot at the Hal Roach Studios in early 1950 under the auspices of the motion picture division of the General Motors Corp. In 1951 M-G-M acquired worldwide distribution rights, which writer-director Arthur Pierson made for Wolverine Productions. As far as I can tell Louis Forbes scored the music, who had been a student of Max Steiner.
He had a puppy in that tiny box? 🤔
Marilyn look amazing but I will take that cops motor bike and any one of those cars
good actors , lousy story of psychopath who assaults anyone sayin a sideways word to him gets worse as it plummets into the depths insanity of the teacher taking the 6 year olds and their puppies to crushed in abandoned mines on rock slide mountain
