Let's make it legal

Year: 1951
Director: Richard Sale
Personalities: Claudette Colbert, MacDonald Carey, Zachary Scott, Barbara Bates and Marilyn Monroe.

This film is forgettable but definitely worth a look for the lovely dresses alone.

From imdb;

The divorce of Hugh and Miriam Halsworth becomes final at midnight. Hugh wouldn't dream of calling it off, but can't abandon his rose garden. Things change that afternoon, though, when Miriam's old suitor Victor Macfarland checks into the hotel where Hugh is publicity man. With Miriam's daughter Barbara rooting for Hugh and son-in-law Jerry rooting for Victor, things are unlikely to be resolved by midnight...

Ladies of the Chorus

Year: 1948
Director: Phil Karlson
Personalities: Marilyn Monroe, Adele Jergens, Rand Brooks.

This is such a sweet little film, nothing too special but I'm a huge Marilyn fan so when I saw the dvd in a local bargain bin I quickly snapped it up.

From imdb;

Former burlesque star May and her daughter Peggy dance in the chorus. When May has a fight with featured dancer Bubbles, Bubbles leaves the show and Peggy takes her place. When Peggy falls in love with wealthy Randy, May fears class differences may lead to misery. Marilyn sings "Every Baby Needs a Da Da Daddy" and "Anyone Can Tell I Love You."

I didn't realise the amount of costume changes until I screencapped the following images! For your pleasure.
