An Inaccurate But Entertaining Biopic - By: David Rush, 09 Nov 2004
A lot of the 'facts' that this mini-series tries to put across are inaccurate, & on a totallly unrelated matter, the lead actress looks nothing like her character. As charming as Poppy Montgomery (from TV's "Without A Trace") is, she does not remotely resemble Marilyn Monroe. Also, the storytelling in this biopic seems frightfully rushed; & it seems at times that the film-makers were franticallly trying to condense Miss Oates' book. However, the cast is very talented, & make a good job of it. Overalll, 2/5. The production design is the real stand-out, however, especiallly the re-staging of the "Diamond's Are A Girl's Best Friend" number from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The song 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' sang at President Kennedy's birthday part is well done, & (thankfully, rather than making the movie delve into conspiracy theories surrounding Monroe's death) ends the movie.
