A memory of Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), woman, actress, goddess, myth, in the words of the Spanish director and scriptwriter José Luis Garci, who returns to his childhood and recovers a lost paradise.

“Marilyn vs. Marilyn” tells the story of a little-known period of Marilyn’s life – the years she spent in New York, trying to became a ‘serious”’ actress, taking lessons with Lee Strasberg and setting up a production company with her photographer and trusted friend, Milton Green. Based on hitherto unpublished – and magical - photos from the Greene archives, the film focuses on the photographic image of a woman who remains one of the greatest legends in the history of cinema… and an enduring enigma.

Documentary on Marilyn’s life told by herself from the taped interviews she gave to Life magazine and French Marie Claire less than a month before she died, accompanied by rare and previously unseen footage.

This 1963 documentary, released less than a year after Marilyn Monroe's death, showcases the star in memorable scenes from her 20th Century Fox films, including wardrobe tests and clips from her last, uncompleted project, "Something's Got To Give". Hosted and narrated by Rock Hudson.

Marinette Turgeon, que tous appellent par son surnom de Marilyn, est une femme de 50 ans de nature dynamique et joyeuse. Veuve depuis deux ans, elle habite le plateau Mont-Royal, un quartier populaire de Montréal. Pour subvenir à ses besoins et à ceux de ses petits-enfants que lui a confiés sa fille avant d'aller chercher fortune en Californie, elle fait des ménages dans des maisons privées et quelques travaux de couture. De par son métier, Marilyn devient le témoin privilégié des intrigues familiales, sentimentales ou professionnelles qui se nouent dans les cinq foyers qu'elle visite chaque semaine. D'autant plus que sa franchise, sa curiosité naturelle, son ouverture d'esprit et sa bonne humeur communicative invitent à la confidence. Qui donc aurait pu prédire que cette femme de ménage de peu d'instruction allait un jour se lancer en politique municipale?
