Billy Wilder: the Marilyn Monroe Films
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
Michelle is back again and she and Jason are once again discussing the brilliant films of the great Billy Wilder. This time they discuss the films which feature Marilyn Monroe. There's no question that Some Like It Hot is one of the greatest comedies of all time, a delirious, delightful, dizzy masterpiece of sheer lunacy. In other words, Jason and Michelle liked it.
They also look at The Seven Year Itch, which is also a fine movie but much more problematic and complicated for a contemporary viewer. Monroe's character is just called The Girl in the film, which only hints at the problematic aspects of this film which is also quite fun, clever and entertaining.
We also think this pod is entertaining and hope you agree!
