This screening is presented in partnership with the Fashion Film Club and will be followed by a Q&A with Andrew Wilson author of I Wanna He Loved By You – Marilyn Monroe, A Life in 100 Takes, hosted by Fashion Film Club founder Sarah Bailey.
Andrew will be signing copies of his book after the film.
In one of her very best dramatic performances, Monroe is the sultry wife of Cotten’s unstable army veteran, whose presence and troubled relationship unsettles the honeymoon of another couple at Niagara Falls. Sensual, dazzling and conniving, Monroe’s femme fatale drives this thrilling noir. A famous sequence in which Monroe deploys a now iconic hip-swinging walk, demonstrates her skilful ability to use her body as an instrument to express character. (BFI)
