More has been written about Marilyn Monroe, both during her lifetime and since, than any other figure in movie history. Marilyn fascinated the world while she was alivemore than any other star since Garbo, to whom she was sometimes compared. Monroe was pure cinema. Her musicals and singing are some of the highlights of the history of cinema and here we present a special edition, double CD, with all those special moments. From "Ladies of the Chorus" (1949) - the first film featured on the CD, through to "Something's Got to Give" (1962) - the uncompleted film with Dean Martin and Phil Silvers, Marilyn shines here on each and every track, reminding us how special she really was.
