Marilyn Monroe: The Premiere Collection

First of all this box-set is something I would recommend and it's worth the value. There are three sleeves with very nice cover images on each of the three sleeves that shows what movies are in each sleeve. Note to all, not all of these films have Marilyn as the star, so she won't appear as much as she does in some other films. I wish they added "River of no Return" to this set, but I don't know why they didn't. I do agree with other reviewers that the package design was not the best and they could've fixed this problem. Most of the films do include special features and trailers on their disks. Overall this is an excellent collection with great movies and I would recommend it to anyone. The movies included are: *"All About Eve" (1950/138mins/B&W/Full frame) -Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe; Director-Joseph L. Mankiewicz *"As Young As You Feel" (1951/76mins/B&W/Full frame) -Monty Woolley, Thelma Ritter, David Wayne, Jean Peters, Albert Dekker; Director-Harmon Jones *"Let's Make it Legal" (1951/76mins/B&W/Full frame) -Claudette Colbert, MacDonald Carey, Zachary Scott, Barbara Bates, Robert Wagner & Frank Cady; Director-Richard Sale *"Love Nest" (1951/84mins/B&W/Full frame) -June Haver, William Lundigan, Frank Fay, Jack Paar, Beatrice Joy, Henry Kulky; Director-Joseph Newman *"Don't Bother to Knock" (1952/76mins/B&W/Full frame) -Richard Widmark, Anne Bancroft, Donna Corcoran, Jeanne Cagney, Lurene Tuttle, Elisha Cook Jr.; Director-Roy Baker *"Monkey Business" (1952/97mins/B&W/Full frame) -Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn, Hugh Marlowe; Director-Howard Hawks *"O. Henry's Full House" (1952/117mins/B&W/Full frame) *"We're not Married" (1952/85mins/B&W/Full frame) -Ginger Rogers, Fred Allen, Victor Moore, David Wayne, Paul Douglas, Eddie Bracken; Director-Edmund Goulding *"How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953/105mins/Color/Full frame) -Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell; Director-Jean Negulesco *"Niagra" (1953/88mins/Color/Full frame) -Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters, Casey Adams; Director-Henry Hathaway *"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953/91mins/Color/Full frame) -Jane Russell, Charles Coburn; Director-Howard Hawks *"There's No Business Like Show Business" (1954/118mins/Color/Widescreen) -Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Dan Dailey; Director-Walter Lang *"The Seven Year Itch" (1955/104mins/Color/Widescreen) -Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Sonny Tufts, Robert Strauss; Director-Billy Wilder *"Bus Stop" (1956/105mins/Color/Widescreen) -Don Murray, Arthur O'Connell, Betty Field; Director-Joshua Logan *"Some Like it Hot" (1959/122mins/B&W/Widescreen)-MGM -Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Joe E. Brown; Director-Billy Wilder *"Let's Make Love" (1960/119mins/Color/Widescreen) -Yves Montand, Tony Randall, Frankie Vaughn; Director-George Cukor *"The Misfits" (1961/125mins/Color/Widescreen)-MGM -Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach; Director-John Huston

Incredible "collection sets" like this fantastic Marilyn Monroe set truly make it worth still buying, collecting and owning DVDs. This is just a jaw-dropping set at such a low price. You get 17 Marilyn movies on 17 individual disks for less than $50--that's like $3 per movie. And in buying this one set you get to own practically all of Marilyn's most wonderful movies, all the best movies of the hands-down most iconic female movie star in all of movie history. Other reviewers have listed all 17 movies you get in the set, so I won't repeat that information. I'll just point out that the only 2 majorly significant Marilyn movies NOT included in the set are: River Of No Return (1954) and The Prince And The Showgirl (1957). There are also about 10 other films that Marilyn had cameos or small parts in that are not included in the set either. But overall, in this incredible set, you get 17 of her most famous movies, the vast majority of her biggest films. For lovers of classic movies and classic movie stars, this is a set that's just too good not to own. Highly, highly recommend this one. PS: Other reviewers have noted the "unique" packaging. It is somewhat of an odd design, made to house 17 disks in a very compact packaging format. Though it may not be the most ideal packaging or greatest design, I think it can be considered a minor drawback and overlooked considering the set's incredible movies and great price. Also, just want to note that I ordered this through Amazon, got the free shipping, and had the set within 3 days of ordering. So hats off to Amazon again for their speedy shipping and quality service.

So far, I just got it yesterday, I have only watched one of the films, "As Young As You Feel" , which was delightful and the picture was perfect, so I don't know if any of my discs skip or any of the other issues I read others complain about, but they look good. When I ordered this, just a few days ago, it must have been on special, because I paid $29.99, so 17 films is a steal! $1.76 per film! For that, I do not mind that cardboard packaging. I can always keep my discs in better sleeves. I see that now, Amazon lists it at $44.85 ($2.62ish each) which is still an amazing price, so forget the packaging! In some of these films Marilyn has small roles. Like "All About Eve", Marilyn is a scene stealing walk-on, in only one scene, but it is a fantastic film! So is "As Young As You Feel", where she has a small part as the mean boss's secretary, but if you are a fan, you will want to see them all! Whether she is the unfaithful, scheming wife of depressed Joseph Cotton, in "Niagra" or she is keeping cool by putting her panties in the freezer, she is and always will be one of the most captivating creatures to ever grace the silver screen. The only slightly negative I can make about this set is that it does not include "Point of No Return", which it really should... but since I only paid $1.76 for each of these films, I can spring for that one separately!

マリリンモンローの魅力が満載のDVDです

SHE WAS SO GORGEOUS!!!!!

Muy buena coleccion a buen precio, pero la caja donde se guardan los discos esta mal diseñada...los discos pueden rayarse facilmente si se guardan ahi...me imagino que se diseño de esa manera por cuestiones de espacio y para ofrecerlo mas barato.

前に発売されたDVD・コレクションも持っているが… このブルーレイ・コレクションは、映像音声共に素晴らしいです 出来れば、全ての作品を4Kで発売して欲しいです 余談ですが…購入のきっかけは、リーズナブルな価格なので購入しました。 大正解

ずっと欲しかったので、質、価格とも、とても満足しています。この調子で、マリリンの映画をブルー・レイでそろえる予定。
