Title: Not just an early Marilyn movie
Review: This movie is famous for 'discovering' Marilyn. Though it wasn't her first film, and it was a very small role, she got a lot of exposure. But aside from that, the movie is excellent. A really great gangster flick that has suspense and violence, but not graphic enough for the family not to enjoy together.Basically a motley crew is assembled to take out a department store. It will be the biggest jewel heist in the Mid-west. Doc is the aging mastermind, Dix is the heavy, and also a sleazy, two bit financer, a crooked lawyer, a safe cracker, and a driver.Marilyn's part is that of the old lawyer's young lover, who finally confesses and blows the lawyer's alibi out of the water. I bought the movie because Marilyn was in it. But I would still like it without her. This is probably the best movie she appeared in when she wasn't the star. Some would say 'All About Eve' was, but I didn't care for it.
