About Marilyn Monroe

Synopsis

This is an exploration of how a film’s form can influence the way an audience perceives the film's content.
Conner took some footage that is a little over a minute, from a film that purportedly contains Marilyn Monroe dressed only in panties. Conner's intent, he has said, "was to take some parts of the found footage and rearrange them to see if the quintessential "Marilyn" could emerge". The film is "experimental" in both the scientific and artistic sense, the film being very avant-garde. The film is composed of loops of footage containing a supposedly naked Marilyn Monroe, black leader, and a continuous loop of the song "I'm Through With Love" from Some Like It Hot (1959), a film starring Monroe.
The footage used by Conner is actually ''Apple Knockers and Coke'' a famous porno from the late 40's featuring Monroe look-alike Arline Hunter.
