DVD Review: I'm Speechless......
Summary: 1 Stars
With all due respect to the recently deceased James Dougherty, who seems to have been a very decent man, this is without a doubt the worst, cheesiest, ill-conceived, non-edited, putridly scored, out of sequence excuse for a film that I've ever seen. If it didn't have interspersed snippets of film and still photos of Marilyn, this could be a film about anything or nothing. James Dougherty, who cannot be blamed for this mess, rambles on and on, sometimes about Marilyn/Norma Jeane, sometimes about Maine, sometimes about his then present wife, sometimes about the L.A.P.D. that employed him, all with absolutely no chronoligcal order or relevance to anything. There is no progression of story, no "I first met Norma Jeane...", nothing unfolds as would be expected. Photos of Marilyn The Star are shown as he's talking about Norma Jeane, and photos of Norma Jeane are shown as he is talking about something like marksmanship.... whatever it was, it had absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the pictures being shown or the supposed subject of this supposed film. The rambling dialogue is sporadically cut off and stills of Marilyn/Norma Jeane appear, to a soundtrack of what must be some of the most amateurish, badly written, badly sung songs ever "composed", which, amazingly, again have nothing to do with what's being shown.[...] The incredulous laughter that emits from first viewing this catastrophe quickly gives way to total disbelief that someone could intentionally make a film this bad about ANYTHING, at which point total boredom sets in. This film promises "revealing truths", "rare film clips", etc...but delivers absolutely nothing that hasn't been seen or heard numerous times, only not possibly this badly told. The first clue of just how bad this film was going to be came right at the beginning, with the dreaded "re-creation" scene, supposedly of the young Norma Jeane pining for her Jimmy. The ornate period rooms the actress who is also supposedly "Norma Jeane" is languishing longingly in are nothing like the simple, modest surroundings that they truly did live in, as anyone who knows their M.M. history is already aware of. Also in the beginning there are film clips of Marilyn, and the creators of this mess didn't even bother to note that one is not even M.M., but is Jane Russell in Marilyn drag in the courtroom scene from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." As this film progresses from bad to awful to unwatchable, it is almost constantly accompanied by not only the horribly written, totally modern and out of context songs, but also by an irritating aria like backround vocal which will make you wonder if you are going insane. [...] As stated earlier, James Dougherty was a very decent man, who throughout his life spoke only generously, wistfully, and lovingly of the woman who was his wife for four years. His excellent little remembrence he wrote in the 1970's, "The Secret Happiness Of Marilyn Monroe", was all he needed to say and all we needed to know of those lost years, before Norma Jeane became the most beloved star and greatest legend in the history of Hollywood. If you are a true Marilyn fan, do yourself a favor and read his book if you haven't already done so. [...]
