MM Film Season in Columbus, Ohio

 

Ohio State University’s Wexner Arts Center will host a film festival this summer marking the 50th anniversary of Marilyn’s death, reports the Columbus Dispatch

“Thirteen feature films will be screened over nine nights in “Marilyn Monroe: The Actress,” the center’s indoor summer film series in July and August. The series is timed to overlap with the 50th anniversary of the death (on Aug. 5, 1962) of the blond icon.

Among the fan favorites in the series are Niagara (1953), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), River of No Return (1954) and Some Like It Hot(1959).

The series also includes The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) with Laurence Olivier, which inspired the recent film My Week With Marilyn; and The Legend of Marilyn (1966), a documentary directed by John Huston, who worked with Monroe on The Misfits.”
