A small selection of reviews for Marilyn's films from 1948 – 1952. 1948 - Ladies of the Chorus One of the bright spots is Miss Monroe's singing. She is pretty and, with her pleasing voice and style, she shows promise. Tibor Krekes, The Motion Picture Herald 1950 – The Asphalt Jungle It has taut direction, jolting pace, top acting by Louis Calhern and Marilyn Monroe. Quick Marilyn contributed a documentary effect to a lurid exposition. New York Herald Tribune |

1951 – Love Nest Leatrice Joy gives mature warmth to the proceedings. Marilyn Monroe has the other quality. Variety 1951 - Let's Make it Legal Marilyn Monroe is amusing in a brief role as a beautiful shapely blonde who has her eye on Zachary Scott and his millions. Wanda Hale, The New York Daily News 1952 – Clash by Night While Marilyn Monroe is reduced to what is tantamount to a bit role, despite her star billing, she does manage to get over her blonde sexiness in one or two scenes, and the film could have used more of her. Variety 1952 - We're Not Married Marilyn Monroe . . looks as though she had been carved out of cake by Michelangelo. Otis L Guernsey, Jr., The New York Herald Tribune 1952 – Don't Bother to Knock It proves conclusively that she is the kind of big new star for which exhibitors are always asking. Vincent Conley, Motion Picture Herald 1952 - Monkey Business Marilyn Monroe can look and act dumber than any of the screen's current blondes. The New York Daily News 1952 – O Henry's Full House Marilyn Monroe, again as sleek as she was in The Asphalt Jungle, is a streetwalker of stunning proportions. Archer Winsten, The New York Post |
