In the "100 Best Movies in Film History" list selected by "Entertainment Weekly" (AFI's 100-Year-Old Movies), this film ranked 21st.
And "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night" ranked 9th on the "Top 100 Movie Lines" list selected by the American Film Association.
In the small eight, how can Bette Davis not get the best actress with the same acting skills as the queen mother? The reason is that Anne Baxter, who played Ava, was also nominated because of her high voice and pressure. Best actress, not best supporting actress. It is rare for a movie to contribute two nominations for a heroine. But this caused a serious division of votes, and the best actress of the year ended up in the "Born Yesterday" starring Judy Holliday.
I don't need to say anything more about such a film. Someone has said everything that should be said.
I would like to talk about a trot of tricks here. It appeared at 45 minutes and 04 seconds at the beginning of the film. It appeared 3 times in 2 scenes, Marilyn Monroe.
Before "Comet Beauty", Marilyn Monroe has acted in many other movies. According to the information given by IMDB, there are 11, which happens to be 1/3 of the 33 movies she starred in in her life. In these movies, she played Some small roles, except for "Ladies of the Chorus" where she is the leading role, are not very successful. It was this "Comet Beauty" that made her truly enter the audience's attention, because this was the first time she truly performed the true qualities of "Marilyn Monroe" and became a world star Marilyn Monroe: Brilliant, Gu Pan's life, bright and beautiful...
At this time, she looks very young and fresh in the film (24 years old). She is fascinatingly glowing. As long as she appears on the screen, even in the few short scenes, people can't pay attention to other people. As long as she appeared in front of the camera, she would snatch the entire shot.
Her boyfriend at this time is called Johnny Hyde, who is 15 cm shorter than Marilyn, is the vice chairman of the agency of William Morris, and a major shareholder in Hollywood. At a cocktail party two years ago, he met the blonde Marilyn and felt like he had never had before. He admires her, even though he knows nothing about Marilyn's past, and is determined to make her a real movie star. At this time, Monroe was 22 years old and Hyde was 53 years old, and suffered from a serious heart disease. He did not spend too much time in the world, but he found vitality and hope in Marilyn.
Johnny Hyde pestered Darryl Zanuck (producer, former brother of Twentieth Century Fox), and went to his office to beg him until he used Monroe against his will. Darryl Zanuck and Marilyn Monroe are not very close, and they don’t see each other: she thinks he doesn’t let her play a role that she can play; he always thinks she is the only one who plays a silent beauty. You can't do anything else outside, hehe, maybe they all have their own reasons~
Johnny Hyde abandoned the family, regardless of conscience's condemnation and weak physique, lingering with Marilyn, just living for her. He wanted her to marry him so that Marilyn would not worry about her livelihood even if she became a wealthy widow in the future. ... But before completing the relevant legal procedures, Hyde was admitted to the hospital due to a relapse of a heart attack. A few months after the release of "Comet Beauty", Johnny Hyde died on December 18, 1950. Before that, Monroe had been by his side to take care of him. As soon as Hyde died, his family took away the precious jewelry and clothes he had bought for Monroe, and drove Monroe out. They banned her from attending Hyde's funeral, but she ignored it and cried at the funeral, calling Hyde's name. This is a natural catharsis of her feelings. Many years after Hyde's death, Marilyn always missed him deeply. She once said to others: "He is the only person who really cares about me."
Marilyn Monroe was hit hard by this and committed suicide for him. Poor Monroe became an unloved and unsupervised orphan after Hyde's death. Under the conditions of starvation and poverty, she went to take the nude photos that later caused a lot of controversy. These are for the rest.
In April 1951, Marilyn Monroe began filming the film "The Beanstalker". Marilyn's small role in this comedy was still based on Johnny Hyde's dealings during his lifetime. Marilyn couldn't help but feel sad when she was filming. Director Harmon Jones expressed deep sympathy for Marilyn: "She couldn't help her tears. Every time I asked her to appear on stage, she cried. Later, her eyes were all red. I'm crying and swollen."...
