Foxvideo Marilyn Monroe Diamond Collection V02 (Dont Bother To Knock, Lets Make Love, Monkey Business, Niagara, River of No Return)

Share the enchantment of one of Hollywood's greatest screen sirens in this exciting gift set containing five of Marilyn Monroe's most memorable films. Each has been carefully restored and remastered to create a breathtaking presentation that surpasses its original theatrical release, allowing new and devoted fans to re-discover the making of a film legend.DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK: A beautiful babysitter (Marilyn Monroe, in her first major film role) begins an affair with one of the guests (Richard Widmark) in the hotel where she is a live-in babysitter. But when the child she cares for interrupts their lovemaking, Monroe becomes a dangerous madwoman. Also starring Anne Bancroft in her film debut, the chilling, provocative Don't Bother To Knock brilliantly showcases Monroe in a rare portrayal of a truly dark character.LET'S MAKE LOVE: When billionaire Jean Marc Clement (Yves Montand) learns he's to be parodied in an upcoming theater production, he lands a part in the show--playing himself! Immediately smitten with his co-star Amanda (Marilyn Monroe), who does not return his affection, Clement tries desperately to improve his stage presence (hiring tutors Bing Crosby for singing, Gene Kelly for dancing and Milton Berle for comedy) in hopes of winning her over. Directed by George Cukor, Let's Make Love features Marilyn singing My Heart Belongs To Daddy. MONKEY BUSINESS: In this comedy classic, a chimpanzee gets loose in Dr. Barnaby Fulton's (Cary Grant) lab and accidentally completes the youth formula Fulton has been working on for years. But the industrious chimp also dumps the potion into the office water cooler--which becomes clear only when Fulton's staff mysteriously grows younger and younger. The chemistry really explodes when his voluptuous secretary (Marilyn Monroe) gets a taste of the potion.NIAGARA: A vacationing couple, George and Rose Loomis (Joseph Cotten and Marilyn Monroe), rent a quaint bungalow at romantic Niagara Falls. But Rose and her lover plan to murder the unsuspecting George--in the Falls! A dramatic departure from her more upbeat roles, Monroe's fascinating performance as the scheming murderess paints a powerfully dark portrait of human sexuality.RIVER OF NO RETURN: After his wife dies, Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum) and his young son begin a new life in the breathtaking, rugged Northwest wilderness, where Matt is robbed and beaten by ruthless gambler Harry Weston (Rory Calhoun). When Weston's beautiful fiancee (Marilyn Monroe) decides to nurse Calder back to health, the insanely jealous Weston risks their lives by taking them all on a ride down a treacherous river.
