Marlyn Monroe screen time
is way too small
but not a bad movie
6/10
When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...

Barbara Bates was prettier anyhow
shareMM has title credit in the version on dvd, which makes no sense, as she has three small scenes and doesn't figure in the plot, such as it is.
Can we suppose that what we're seeing there is a re-release, sent back to theatres after, say, Niagara?
the version has nothing to do with a vintage 're-release' the simple fact is that when the film was made in 1951 Marilyn wasn't 'MARILYN'...
as the entirety of DVD technology post dates her Iconic status it's simply a case of marketing by highlighting her involvement
lets face it: Claudette Colbert while The Star and a true superstar of her era simply doesn't have the name recognition with the masses as MM
-- after CC you have Robert Wagner: but here you run into him being recognized as much for his TV Work
-- after Wagner the only real name is MacDonald Carey (again Big for the era, if known at all today it's as the Voice of Days of Our Lives)
A modern example of such marketing is one of the Texas Chainsaw Sequels with Renee Zellwegger and Mathew McCoughnahey in bit parts, yet the DVD case implies they're the stars
same Goes for the movie Hackers, most DVD cases imply Angelina Jolie is the star, and while the female lead she's actually down 4th or 5th in the cast
it was early days in her short career
so many movies, so little time
Her body looked good, but her face didn't seem like the famous face we know, somehow. Was it bad makeup? Did she have plastic surgery after this film?
