Using a Cuban actress to portray Marilyn probably demonstrates the idea of the "Director's Couch" more than anything in this flick.
Don't get me wrong, the nude scenes were well staged (that set must have been awfully cold though) and the schizoid episodes were semi-entertaining but hard to follow.
Joe DiMaggio was such a respected hero that he could easily have had the entire Yankees bench pound the snot out of miscreants that meant to harm Marilyn (and the cops would happily have ignored it)--so this was a questionable chunk of the story
I think this is a 3-star package that should have gone straight to DVD.
