Marilyn in Manhattan is a documentary that covers the height and end of Marilyn's career. Basically it starts with the opening of Seven Year Itch and the end of her marriage with Joe DiMaggio. Then covers how she teamed up with Milton Greene to create her own company in New York City. Her days at the Actor's Sudio. Her marriage to Arthur Miller which caused her to break up her partnership with Greene. The fall of Marilyn Monroe Pictures. And briefly her addiction to sleeping pills that would ultimately cause her death.
If that description seemed a little shallow it's probably because that's how the documentary felt. They just skimmed the surface and all the interviews and narrations seem to put her in the best light all the time. I'm not saying she is a horrible person, but she wasn't always this helpless victim they make her seem like. I feel there are probably much better documentaries out there that reveal more information about this woman.
