Event Details
Director George Cukor’s musical comedy was Monroe’s second-to-last completed film. She plays a bohemian off-Broadway actor who is in a show satirizing a French billionaire, Jean-Marc Clément (Yves Montand). While scoping out the production, Clément is cast in the play and the two fall in love, though deception threatens to ruin everything. Monroe worked closely with costume designer Dorothy Jeakins to draw inspiration from her personal style for the film’s looks.
