Marilyn Monroe in New York

April 11–12

Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI)

On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s centenary, the Museum presents a selection of the eternal movie star’s films set in New York City, including The Seven-Year Itch, How to Marry a Millionaire, and the rarely shown Don’t Bother to Knock.

As part of this weekend, the Museum will also highlight the work of legendary photographer and lifelong New Yorker Sam Shaw, whose vibrant images of Monroe charted the actress throughout her career. Shaw took the iconic shot of Monroe standing over the subway grate in New York City.

To celebrate this relationship, ACC Art Books published the beautiful volume Dear Marilyn: The Unseen Letters and Photographs by Sam Shaw. Through Shaw’s words and photographs, Dear Marilyn offers newly discovered correspondence and never-before-seen, digitally remastered photographs from the original 1940s–1960s archival material, from behind the scenes of The Seven-Year Itch to candid images of her on the streets of New York and the beach in Amagansett.

On April 11, Melissa Stevens, Shaw’s granddaughter, joins film scholar Imogen Sara Smith (The Criterion Collection) for a special conversation about the myth, the image, and the reality of Marilyn Monroe.

#The Seven-Year Itch + Book Event

Saturday, Apr 11, 1:00 pm

Followed by a conversation with Melissa Stevens and Imogen Sara Smith

Dir. Billy Wilder. 1955, 105 mins. U.S. DCP. With Marilyn Monroe, Tom Ewell, Evelyn Keyes, Oscar Homolka, Sonny Tufts. Envelope-pusher Billy Wilder turned a potential hot-button comedy about possible adultery (a Production Code no-no) into an enormous box-office success and gave Marilyn Monroe one of her most lasting, beloved roles. Adapted from George Axelrod’s play, the film follows nebbishy Tom Ewell as a husband alone for a hot summer weekend in NYC while his wife and child vacation in Maine, and finds himself, uh, distracted by his new, blonde bombshell upstairs neighbor. With its ultimate married-guy fantasy dilemma, The Seven-Year Itch remains one of Wilder’s most delightful comic confections, and Monroe brings her customary combination of sexiness, warmth, and vulnerability.

#How to Marry a Millionaire

Saturday, Apr 11, 4:00 pm

Dir. Jean Negulesco. 1953, 95 mins. U.S. DCP. With Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell, William Powell. Arguably Marilyn Monroe’s funniest movie, the Cinemascope rom-com classic How to Marry a Millionaire casts the then rising superstar alongside Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable in an ultimate trio of ambitious New York women who rent an eye-popping penthouse on Sutton Place in the hopes of attracting rich suitors. Bacall’s Schatze is the no-nonsense professional; Grable’s Loco is the ditz; Marilyn’s Pola, meanwhile, is terribly nearsighted but vainly refuses to wear glasses, leading to some myopic mishaps. The women’s various romantic pursuits intersect in Negulesco’s effervescent adaptation of plays by Zoe Akins and Katherine Albert.

#Don’t Bother to Knock

Sunday, Apr 12, 12:30 pm

Dir. Roy Ward Baker. 1952, 76 mins. U.S. DCP. With Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark, Anne Bancroft, Donna Corcoran. Adapted from Charlotte Armstrong’s suspense novel Mischief, this utterly bizarre and captivating little corker casts a brunette Monroe against type as a mentally disturbed babysitter who unravels while watching a little girl in a New York City hotel while her parents are attending a gala event. Meanwhile, an airline pilot (Widmark) nursing a broken heart pursues the unbalanced beauty. The masterful B filmmaker Baker keeps things simmering at a low boil, while Monroe nails her first true starring role, and a young Bancroft provides able support as Widmark’s ex-girlfriend torch singer. This terrific fifties melodrama is a quintessential portrait of below-the-surface fears threatening domesticity.

Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth (ages 3–17) / discounted for MoMI members ($7–$11). There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases. The cost of admission may be applied toward a same-day purchase of a membership.
