00:00:14One year before her death, when the actress was at the peak of her career,
00:00:20NBC approached Marilyn Monroe to tell her story on television
00:00:24the tour she undertook seven years earlier in war-torn Korea.
00:00:38In it, she shares previously unpublished memories of four days of concerts in front of army soldiers.
00:00:42American, where the promising actress she was had transformed into a Hollywood icon.
00:01:02It was February 1954. Marilyn remembered Marilyn. She could see herself singing in front of
00:01:11One hundred thousand soldiers who hadn't seen women for months. Representations
00:01:18in sub-zero temperatures, dressed in her tight-fitting purple silk dress.
00:01:27The best days of his life.
00:01:46In December 1952, the new American president Dwight Eisenhower visited Korea
00:01:52where American soldiers are fighting against the communists of the North, supported by China.
00:02:00After two years of a war that had become invisible to American public opinion, Eisenhower
00:02:05wishes to negotiate a ceasefire. The two adversaries sign the armistice in July.
00:02:111953. Who better than Marilyn Monroe could commemorate the sacrifice of nearly 50,000 soldiers?
00:02:19Americans in Korea. The story begins on January 14, 1954, when Marilyn married
00:02:33Jody Maggio, the great star of American baseball. Another legend, his friend Lefty
00:02:42O'Doul is his best man.
00:02:49Marilyn is 28 years old.
00:02:57It was her latest film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, that brought her initial fame.
00:03:04She shares the screen with another actress, who is nevertheless paid five times more
00:03:09She's the one. Hollywood jokingly calls her "the curvy blonde." But she, she would like
00:03:21to one day simply become herself. The day her producer, Daryl Zanuck, assigns her
00:03:29offered a new role as a dumb blonde, without consulting her; she refuses it and slams the door.
00:03:36The couple from Imaggio are free to go on their honeymoon to Japan, where Joe is invited.
00:03:43to occur during baseball games.
00:03:47Lefty O'Doul are wedding witnesses, and I, Jean, his wife, are accompanying them.
00:03:57Our arrival in Tokyo will immediately change the rules of the game.
00:04:02The public is waiting for the very popular Joe d'Imaggio. But it's Marilyn's name
00:04:07that the crowd roars.
00:04:12Against all odds, she steals the spotlight from Dimaggio, and this reception disorients her.
00:04:23She remains frozen in an eternal smile. "Why me?" she seems to be saying.
00:04:31Fifteen minutes later, the police escorted us to the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
00:04:36where an equally excited crowd waits.
00:04:47Exhausted from a 12-hour flight, Marilyn prefers to go to bed.
00:04:51Flower petals were attached to her hair.
00:04:55Sad for Joe, who was upstaged by her on their first night of married life.
00:05:04The following day at 3 p.m., in front of 75 journalists, the press conference was held.
00:05:10They are only there for her.
00:05:12He questions her about her career and the men she has known.
00:05:20DiMaggio, hurt by the reporters' indifference towards him,
00:05:24abruptly pulls Marilyn away by the arm.
00:05:26That's it, let's go.
00:05:36The ceremonies continued in quick succession over the following days.
00:05:39From Tokyo to Osaka, from hotel to hotel and from baseball game to baseball game.
00:05:48Marilyn is bored there with resignation.
00:05:51But everywhere we go, it is she who mobilizes the crowds.
00:05:57And when the DiMaggio family leaves a hotel,
00:05:59The staff meticulously inspect the rubbish bins and even their beds.
00:06:03in search of a lock of hair as a souvenir.
00:06:10It was during a party at the American embassy
00:06:12that an officer offered him a position in Korea.
00:06:16Entertaining soldiers who are dying of boredom and longing for their loved ones.
00:06:28The tour aims to boost the morale of the soldiers.
00:06:31thanks to celebrity visits.
00:06:36Ingrid Bergman, Bing Crosby, Marlene Dietrich and Danny Kaye did it before her.
00:06:48She accepts the proposal, but specifies that only if Joe, her husband, gives his consent,
00:06:53that is on the condition that I, Gino Doule, his friend,
00:06:57accompanies him on this trip.
00:07:01The brunette there, next to Marlène, that's me.
00:07:07We barely know where to locate Korea on a map
00:07:10and we don't know what we're getting ourselves into.
00:07:16The armistice between the two Koreas was signed a few weeks ago.
00:07:20But more than the war, Marlene will have to confront her phobia of crowds.
00:07:25She will be released in the middle of winter in the midst of thousands of men.
00:07:28cut off from the lures, far from their country.
00:07:31This is what awaits the two women.
00:07:38On Friday, February 5, 1954, we went to the Tokyo Army Hospital
00:07:43where his first wounded await him on the eve of their evacuation.
00:07:48This will be his first contact with war.
00:07:56When she appears, the soldiers recognize first and foremost
00:07:59the blonde actress who floods newspapers and magazines.
00:08:02The famous Miss Cheesecake 1952 that she was.
00:08:12This war caused a great deal of human suffering.
00:08:15But faced with this reality, she does not back down.
00:08:24A sincere smile and kind words that go straight to the hearts of those injured.
00:08:31For a few hours, the men forget the ordeal they are going through.
00:08:36And she is proud to bring them these little moments of happiness.
00:08:43One columnist states that his visit is hailed as the best treatment since penicillin.
00:08:56She will tell me she made a blunder when she says, laughing, to a seriously injured person
00:09:01"Look, I have a broken thumb too."
00:09:04And she showed a splint on her finger.
00:09:08Journalists looking for a good story immediately interviewed him.
00:09:12She finally answered, looking embarrassed.
00:09:15"I just bumped into a door."
00:09:17"I even have a witness."
00:09:19Joe was there.
00:09:22But the version the press is sticking with is that the very jealous Joe DiMaggio
00:09:26He broke his thumb in a moment of anger.
00:09:29No, no, it's OK.
00:09:41The musicians only have one week of rehearsal with her.
00:09:45They belong to the 8th Army, but in civilian life, they are professionals.
00:09:51One of them plays drums at the Codons Club in New York.
00:09:55The other one, the double bass, in Brooklyn.
00:09:58The saxophonist is from Memphis, the guitarist from Vegas.
00:10:05The last one, Jim, nicknamed Gus, is the pianist.
00:10:11And he's the one who takes charge of the show.
00:10:19Three songs are on the program.
00:10:22And the first one is titled "Diamonds are a girl's best friend".
00:10:25The film's main title, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".
00:10:43She will be singing in front of an audience for the first time in her career.
00:10:47And she's anxious about not succeeding.
00:10:52"She shouldn't worry," the organizer told her.
00:10:55He is simply asked to appear on stage.
00:10:59Marilyn doesn't acknowledge the rudeness.
00:11:05One week later, on Tuesday, February 16, 1954,
00:11:10A US Air Force plane lands at K-16 base
00:11:13from Seoul airport, the capital of South Korea.
00:11:45Lourdes chansons.
00:11:46Shoes on their feet, lined military jackets, parkas.
00:11:50We had fun dressing up as soldiers.
00:11:54We are ready to face the Korean winter.
00:12:09Dozens of reporters and photographers from all over the world
00:12:13took off from Tokyo at dawn
00:12:14to be able to film our arrival in Korea.
00:12:18The New York Times, Associated Press and NBC
00:12:21we will follow during this first day
00:12:23before leaving us alone with the soldiers.
00:12:29I have the feeling that Marilyn already seems to be breaking free.
00:12:32of her husband's guardianship,
00:12:34even though she left him just a few hours ago.
00:12:39I'm the one who will be assisting him during the four days of the trip.
00:12:43I will take care of her stage dress.
00:12:45of her hairstyle and makeup.
00:12:47She calls me mischievously,
00:12:50her surrogate mother.
00:13:02With us is Walter Bouillet.
00:13:06He is the press officer who initiated the tour.
00:13:08The one who convinced Jody Maggio
00:13:10to interrupt the couple's honeymoon.
00:13:18Four helicopters are waiting for us.
00:13:20Marilyn, Gus's orchestra and the technical staff.
00:13:28Six others are carrying the press.
00:13:35It's still a fragile ceasefire.
00:13:37and hard-won, which marked the end of the fighting.
00:13:43What did Marilyn see of the Korean War?
00:13:49From the helicopter,
00:13:50she looks around
00:13:51the traces of the clashes.
00:13:55She asked to fly over the ruins
00:13:57battlefields.
00:14:00But she knows that everything has been done
00:14:01so that she wouldn't see anything.
00:14:09You tell me that being a movie star,
00:14:11It's like living in a whirlwind.
00:14:13We transport you from one place to another,
00:14:15But wherever you go,
00:14:16You never see anything.
00:14:25While the helicopters
00:14:27approaching the mountainous area
00:14:28of the 1st Marine Division,
00:14:31she asks the pilots
00:14:32to make several circles above the camp.
00:14:54His face was whipped by the icy wind,
00:14:57She salutes the soldiers.
00:15:01Most of them have never seen it in the cinema.
00:15:03because they were already in Korea.
00:15:06On the other hand,
00:15:08they all know the naked pin-up
00:15:10which lines their wardrobe,
00:15:12a photo of a 20-year-old Marilyn
00:15:14that Playboy magazine unearthed.
00:15:17This is by Lucky Millinder,
00:15:19Trevor Bacon runs the motel.
00:15:34Helicopters and Me
00:15:36were inseparable.
00:15:38We gave our shows
00:15:39every time men
00:15:40could step out of line.
00:15:45For the first show,
00:15:47the draw determined
00:15:48those of the Marines
00:15:49who would be attending.
00:15:52They traveled kilometers
00:15:54to reach the big top,
00:15:56trading their rifle
00:15:57for a camera.
00:15:59For these guards
00:16:01from a lost border,
00:16:03the arrival of Marilyn
00:16:04is their first distraction
00:16:06for a long time.
00:16:10Since 1950,
00:16:124000 Marines
00:16:13of the first division
00:16:14were killed
00:16:15and they count
00:16:16more than 20,000 injured.
00:16:21During the Second World War,
00:16:23These soldiers fought
00:16:24against the Japanese
00:16:25in the Pacific
00:16:26and few of them
00:16:27survived.
00:16:30They are exhausted
00:16:32by ten years of war.
00:16:33They miss their families.
00:16:35They had no youth.
00:16:43Marilyn asks
00:16:44to its survivors
00:16:45where they come from.
00:16:46They are from California.
00:16:48They are only children.
00:16:49They are engaged.
00:16:52She wants to know everything
00:16:54of their lives.
00:16:58They don't know
00:16:59that they will stay there
00:17:00one more year
00:17:01before finding
00:17:02their home.
00:17:12Military police
00:17:14ensures safety
00:17:15and 15,000 soldiers
00:17:17stretch as far as the eye can see.
00:17:21The Seine
00:17:22is a simple platform
00:17:23wooden
00:17:24equipped with basic backstage areas.
00:17:33As a dressing room,
00:17:35she does not have
00:17:36than a simple curtain
00:17:37canvas
00:17:37to hide
00:17:38from the gaze of curious onlookers.
00:17:43You need
00:17:44four layers
00:17:45lipstick
00:17:45and a brown pencil
00:17:47which darkens the gaze
00:17:48to become
00:17:49Marilyn.
00:17:53But today,
00:17:54You don't have time.
00:17:56Your stage dress
00:17:57is a simple dress
00:17:58cocktail
00:17:59with thin straps
00:18:00in silk crepe
00:18:01from
00:18:02Sail Chapman
00:18:03on 5th Avenue.
00:18:05You slipped it in.
00:18:06in a hurry
00:18:06in the suitcase
00:18:07for the evenings
00:18:08dressed in Tokyo.
00:18:09It's the dress
00:18:10Joe's favorite
00:18:11and the only
00:18:12which was suitable
00:18:13for the tour.
00:18:17Your shoulders are bare
00:18:18despite the freezing cold.
00:18:22A cold
00:18:23that doesn't affect you
00:18:24so many cries
00:18:24The audience warms you up.
00:18:27You tell me
00:18:28that you are ready.
00:18:29I see it.
00:18:31This is your first
00:18:32public concert.
00:18:34You're waiting for your moment.
00:18:44Yes,
00:18:45Whatever you want
00:18:47it is belonging
00:18:48to all those guys.
00:19:21Gus, the pianist,
00:19:22I'm having trouble keeping up with you.
00:19:24He doesn't hear
00:19:24your voice covered
00:19:25by the shouts.
00:19:48John Taylor Jones,
00:19:49a soldier
00:19:50of the 7th division
00:19:51infantry
00:19:52originally from Salt Lake City
00:19:54in Utah,
00:19:54attends the first concert.
00:19:59In the middle of the show,
00:20:00planes were passing by
00:20:01above us.
00:20:02I didn't know
00:20:03if it was to greet her
00:20:04or simply
00:20:05An operation is underway.
00:20:09She continued to sing
00:20:10as if nothing had happened.
00:20:12The guys loved it.
00:34:34During World War II, the 160th Infantry Regiment fought in the Pacific jungle. They are the famous
00:34:42Devils of Guadalcanal. Just two years ago, after a forced march training at a base of
00:34:50Texas, these young men, some of whom had never left their homes, left for Korea, where they
00:34:57participated in four of the deadliest offensives of the war.
00:35:11Today, they can't believe it. Marilyn is standing right in front of them.
00:35:20It was Marilyn we came to see. She arrived at a temple. I don't blame her.
00:35:26'was the safest option.
00:35:29Private Edward Barrus, of the 160th Infantry Regiment, was from Salem, Massachusetts. He enlisted
00:35:38three years to save up for her wedding.
00:35:46I had been injured in one of the last battles, and I had been released from the hospital a few days earlier.
00:35:51early.
00:35:56We had barely arrived at the Grenadier Palace when we tried to look our best, in case she asked us to
00:36:01to go on stage with her.
00:36:04We were truly dreamers.
00:36:21You alone make the decision to brave the storm that is breaking.
00:36:51Under the snow, which is intensifying,
00:36:54The pianist only takes off his gloves to play.
00:37:01You, whether brave or reckless,
00:37:04You're still dressed so scantily,
00:37:06And your voice sometimes seems to get lost.
00:37:13The audience gives you a standing ovation.
00:37:14so much, so much
00:37:15that you no longer hear the piano behind you.
00:37:19Suddenly,
00:37:20You forget the lyrics,
00:37:21and you stop singing.
00:37:31Marie-Lyne is all too familiar with her memory lapses.
00:37:34On set,
00:37:35she was so nervous
00:37:37that she left the set to vomit.
00:37:40However, here
00:37:42You don't lose your composure.
00:37:43You begin a dance step
00:37:45while calling out to the pianist.
00:37:48"Gus,
00:37:49I've forgotten the lyrics.
00:37:51How do I do it?
00:37:53He whispers them to you
00:37:55and told you to start again
00:37:56as if nothing had happened.
00:38:02The soldiers pay no attention
00:38:04than your silhouette
00:38:05which endules.
00:38:07You admit to being a sex symbol.
00:38:10Marie-Lyne
00:38:11Marie-Lyne did it.
00:38:24Between each song,
00:38:26You go backstage
00:38:27to wipe your face.
00:38:30And on stage,
00:38:31one of the guys from the group
00:38:33keeps the spectators waiting.
00:38:41There you are again.
00:38:44Your dress was soaked
00:38:45clings to your body
00:38:46and nobody knows
00:38:46if you try to get in
00:38:48or to get out of it.
00:38:52It was snowing.
00:38:54Despite that,
00:38:54I was hot
00:38:55as if I were in full sunlight.
00:38:57Actually,
00:38:58the snowflakes were evaporating
00:38:59before touching my skin.
00:39:06Jim Foster,
00:39:07another G.I.
00:39:08explain.
00:39:09We didn't care
00:39:10that she knows how to sing.
00:39:11We just wanted to watch her.
00:39:13We wanted to die
00:39:14when we were with her.
00:39:16She was magnificent.
00:39:21Private Barrus,
00:39:22he concluded.
00:39:24I told myself
00:39:25that I had been right
00:39:25to commit myself for three years.
00:39:27For two hours,
00:39:28we forgot
00:39:29that we were far from home.
00:39:31Marie-Lyne occupied
00:39:32our mind
00:39:32for weeks.
00:39:33And the photo
00:39:34that I took from her,
00:39:35it's the only trophy
00:39:37that I brought back from Korea.
00:39:38And I gave it away
00:39:39to my future wife.
00:39:5120 minutes away
00:39:52by helicopter,
00:39:53you are going to perform
00:39:55ahead of the 25th division
00:39:56of Marines.
00:40:02Based in Hawaii,
00:40:03the division was sent
00:40:05in Korea in 1950,
00:40:07at the beginning of the war,
00:40:08while she occupied
00:40:09Japan after Hiroshima.
00:40:15Last night,
00:40:17thanks to the technical services
00:40:18of the US Army
00:40:19who established
00:40:20a radio link
00:40:21with Tokyo,
00:40:23Marie-Lyne shared
00:40:24his enthusiasm
00:40:25to Dimaggio.
00:40:28But the phone
00:40:29stayed plugged in
00:40:30on the speakers
00:40:31of the camp
00:40:32and everyone
00:40:33witnessed
00:40:33of unease
00:40:34by Marie-Lyne.
00:40:38You asked him
00:40:39if he still loved you.
00:40:41Joe hung up.
00:40:44The entire camp
00:40:45witnessed it.
00:40:47You blush.
00:40:51He will do it for you
00:40:52pay dearly.
00:40:54Usually,
00:40:55when he hit you,
00:40:56you shouted at him
00:40:56"Not with the dot, Joe!"
00:41:01Will he dare again?
00:41:01Should I do it tomorrow?
00:41:05It's the corporal
00:41:06Robert Burkhart,
00:41:07originally from Pennsylvania,
00:41:09who has the privilege
00:41:10to escort
00:41:11Marie-Lyne at the concert
00:41:12as a reward
00:41:13from his work

00:41:24time to dry,
00:41:26she will have to sing
00:41:27with the garment

00:41:36That same evening,
00:41:37the young Burkhart
00:41:38wrote to his parents
00:41:39how proud and happy he is
00:41:40that a star
00:41:41is interested in him.
00:41:46She is not at all
00:41:47just as I imagined.
00:41:49She's far from stupid.
00:41:50She's a girl
00:41:51wonderful
00:41:51And adorable.

00:42:18and Marie-Lyne will have
00:42:19a lot to do
00:42:20forgive him upon his return.

00:42:43a 20-year-old GI,

00:42:47that he did
00:42:48three hours' walk
00:42:49to arrive
00:42:50on site.
00:42:51We had
00:42:52feet on fire
00:42:53but as we were going
00:42:54see Marie-Lyne Monroe,
00:42:55We had stopped thinking about it.
00:43:00Pensive
00:43:00and almost nostalgic,
00:43:02Marie-Lyne told me
00:43:03“I didn’t think so.”

00:43:06I'm going to Korea
00:43:06while Mr. Zanuck
00:43:08I was saying
00:43:09"Remember
00:43:10of one thing,
00:43:11You're not a star.
00:43:15Today,
00:43:15you impose

00:43:17to look straight ahead

00:43:19and you print your name
00:43:21in their history.

00:43:41the other women.

00:43:47will receive
00:43:48between 3,000
00:43:49and 7,000 letters
00:43:50per week.
00:43:51Marie-Lyne represents
00:43:53the ideal of femininity
00:43:54during the Cold War,
00:43:56the blonde with white skin,
00:43:58free and cheeky.
00:44:02But who has heard of
00:44:03of the fight
00:44:04that you lead
00:44:05with courage
00:44:06against the studios.
00:44:09A few months earlier,
00:44:11you wrote
00:44:12a platform
00:44:12in the press.
00:44:14The article is titled
00:44:16"The wolves"

00:44:19You denounce it there
00:44:20perversion
00:44:21predators
00:44:22who reign
00:44:23in Hollywood.
00:44:27Marie-Lyne
00:44:28is a free woman.
00:44:30She confessed in private
00:44:31that she had been forced
00:44:32to give in
00:44:33to producers
00:44:34like many
00:44:35Hollywood girls
00:44:35before her.
00:44:38If you refused,
00:44:39about twenty others
00:44:41were taking the job.
00:44:43It was the only way
00:44:44to get his chance.
00:44:49You don't give
00:44:50their name,
00:44:51But me,
00:44:52I know them.
00:44:54You told me
00:44:55"The first real wolf"
00:44:57that I met
00:44:58should have died of shame
00:45:00because he tried
00:45:01to enjoy
00:45:01of the child
00:45:02that I was.
00:45:10That's what you're waiting for.
00:45:12from Joe,
00:45:13your husband.
00:45:14May he protect you
00:45:15of these perverse wolves
00:45:16who abuse women.
00:45:19But the only solution
00:45:20that he has to offer you,
00:45:22It's because you're giving up.

00:45:27You want to become independent
00:45:28and set you free.
00:45:42Thursday, February 18, 1954.
00:45:45When you wake up,
00:45:46the sun shines
00:45:48and it's 15 degrees
00:45:49below zero.
00:45:50A dry cold
00:45:51which burns the lungs.
00:45:54This is your third day.
00:45:56You will be by his side
00:45:57of the 45th division
00:45:58infantry.
00:46:00We are ahead
00:46:02regarding the schedule,
00:46:02which allows
00:46:03a new session
00:46:04photos
00:46:04before a first performance.
00:46:08Fatigue is evident
00:46:09your face.
00:46:10By constantly challenging
00:46:12temperatures,
00:46:13you caught
00:46:14the beginning of pneumonia.
00:46:25The 45th division
00:46:27infantry,
00:46:28it is one of the units
00:46:30Who,
00:46:30in 1945,
00:46:32liberated Dachau.
00:46:40Over there,
00:46:41these men
00:46:42have lost their innocence.
00:46:49They weren't expecting it
00:46:51to such a shock.
00:46:54The new troops
00:46:56who joined
00:46:56the 45th
00:46:57are today
00:46:58inexperienced high school students
00:47:00or recent graduates
00:47:01from the university
00:47:02from Oklahoma.
00:47:06What do you see?
00:47:07in the gaze
00:47:08of these boys,
00:47:09Marilyn?
00:47:22The first show
00:47:23finished.
00:47:24she is already on her way
00:47:25towards an area
00:47:26located further south
00:47:27of the demilitarized zone.
00:47:34Me,
00:47:35Joseph Dalton,
00:47:37accompanied
00:47:38from another guy
00:47:38originally from Tennessee
00:47:39whose name is Grant,
00:47:41we were just
00:47:42behind our captain.
00:47:44He asked us
00:47:45to accompany
00:47:46Miss Monroe
00:47:46and we framed it.
00:47:50The flashes
00:47:50photographers
00:47:51crackled.
00:47:53What pride!
00:48:04The military wrote
00:48:06invitation cards
00:48:07for lunch.
00:48:10A meal
00:48:11that you choose
00:48:12exceed
00:48:12with the ordinary soldiers
00:48:13before the show
00:48:14of this afternoon.
00:48:16Marilyn didn't want to
00:48:17preferential treatment.
00:48:36And for lunch,
00:48:37she donned
00:48:38the dress
00:48:38from his latest film
00:48:39that she bought back
00:48:40to production.
00:48:44The soldiers confide
00:48:46that she has a good appetite.
00:48:47The party
00:48:48has for them
00:48:49the taste of home.
00:48:56With Marilyn,
00:48:58we played
00:48:58to the waitresses
00:48:59snack bar.
00:49:01She washed
00:49:02the dishes
00:49:03in the kitchens.
00:49:04It's the memory
00:49:06Jean de la Norma,
00:49:07from his years in the orphanage
00:49:08which were rising up to him
00:49:09in memory.
00:49:15These soldiers
00:49:16of the 2nd division
00:49:17infantry
00:49:18it is them
00:49:19who landed
00:49:19in Normandy,
00:49:20at Oma Beach
00:49:21in June 1944.
00:49:23It was
00:49:2410 years ago.
00:49:30Over the past 4 years
00:49:31in Korea,
00:49:32many died
00:49:33in combat.
00:49:40in the early afternoon,
00:49:42the G.I.s.
00:49:43are hurrying
00:49:43to attend
00:49:44at the show.
00:49:46They are ahead
00:49:462 hours.
00:49:51Herb Hancock,
00:49:52a young soldier
00:49:5320 years old
00:49:54came from Arizona,
00:49:55reminds us.
00:49:57I was far away,
00:49:58further north,
00:49:59on the front line.
00:50:02We came by truck
00:50:03on a road
00:50:04chaotic
00:50:04to a place
00:50:05called
00:50:06the Bulldozer Bowl.
00:50:11It was a theatre
00:50:11outdoors.
00:50:13Everyone
00:50:13was standing.
00:50:15And I would have missed
00:50:16Not for anything in the world.
00:50:24In the early afternoon,
00:50:26guardian angels
00:50:27of Marilyn
00:50:27they accompany him
00:50:29towards the main stage
00:50:29elevated
00:50:30built by the soldiers.
00:50:35The Bulldozer Bond,
00:50:37planted on waterlogged soil
00:50:39in the middle of a space
00:50:40rocky
00:50:41surrounded by mountains.
00:50:55It was after this performance
00:50:58that Marilyn realizes
00:51:00that she has become
00:51:01a star.
00:51:10Nearly 20,000 men
00:51:12wade through the mud
00:51:13and the division is very close
00:51:15of a mutiny.
00:51:16The orchestra keeps us waiting
00:51:18the freezing men
00:51:19for a show
00:51:19of Marilyn
00:51:20which will not last
00:51:21about fifteen minutes.
00:51:35Marilyn,
00:51:36still shaken
00:51:37years later,
00:51:38remembers.
00:51:39An officer
00:51:40arrived in a hurry.
00:51:42You need to go
00:51:43right away,
00:51:44he told me.
00:51:44we're not going to hold them
00:51:46longer.
00:51:47He throws projectiles
00:51:48on stage.
00:52:03I undressed
00:52:04and I put on my dress
00:52:06in haste.
00:52:09The artists who make
00:52:10the first part of the show
00:52:11struggle to go all the way.
00:52:13The crowd chants
00:52:18getting stronger and stronger.
00:52:20The captain was sitting next to me
00:52:22I ask
00:52:23who I am to Marilyn.
00:52:24I replied to him
00:52:25that she considers me
00:52:26A little
00:52:26like her mother.
00:52:29Marilyn
00:52:29seemed to prove
00:52:30a sort
00:52:30of innocent exaltation
00:52:32like a child's joy
00:52:33which brought her closer to me.
00:52:49when she appeared
00:52:51The crowd was going wild.
00:52:53wrote Joseph Dalton
00:52:54who films her with the camera
00:52:56from a friend.
00:53:01We were 20 years old
00:53:03and we were on dry bread
00:53:04for months.
00:53:06And then,
00:53:07this beautiful blonde
00:53:07A voluptuous woman arrives.
00:53:10We were overjoyed.
00:53:13That changed
00:53:13from the usual routine.
00:53:15Everyone was fighting
00:53:17to get closer
00:53:17of the scene.
00:53:24The G.I.s.
00:53:25are becoming increasingly agitated
00:53:26despite the reminders
00:53:27to order.
00:53:31Your voice is drowned out
00:53:32through the tumult.
00:53:36On stage,
00:53:37the pianist sees
00:53:39the situation is deteriorating.
00:53:44Military police
00:53:45protected us
00:53:46but the kids were furious
00:53:47broke
00:53:48the protective cord
00:53:49just at the moment
00:53:50where she ended
00:53:51his first song.
00:54:03upon seeing this,
00:54:04the pianist
00:54:05trained him
00:54:06behind the scenes.
00:54:12In front of the uncontrollable crowd,
00:54:14Colonel Kelly
00:54:15grabs a microphone.
00:54:20soldiers,
00:54:20I ask you
00:54:21to keep quiet.
00:54:23He needs to try again
00:54:24twice.
00:54:26Gentlemen,
00:54:26you are part
00:54:27of the first force
00:54:28military in the world.
00:54:30Let's show our respect
00:54:31for Miss Monroe.
00:54:32Stay in your seats.
00:54:37When the show resumes,
00:54:38You seem shaken
00:54:40but you don't let
00:54:41nothing to appear
00:54:41of your trouble.
00:54:47Seven years later,
00:54:48you will admit
00:54:49television.
00:54:50I have always been
00:54:51frightened by the crowd.
00:54:53My stomach tightens
00:54:54and I lose my voice.
00:54:56But in front of these boys
00:54:58who were shouting my name,
00:54:59for the first time
00:55:00of my life
00:55:01I wasn't afraid.
00:55:03I was no longer afraid
00:55:04It was nothing.
00:55:05I simply felt
00:55:06happy
00:55:06that people
00:55:07who were looking at me
00:55:08loved me
00:55:09and accepted me.
00:55:15The dumb blonde,
00:55:17as he called it
00:55:18Daryl Zanuck,
00:55:19was forgotten.
00:55:23Everyone had a camera.
00:55:24I couldn't understand
00:55:26what this boy said
00:55:27but I think that
00:55:28 understood
00:55:28what he means.
00:55:34Before she left the stage,
00:55:36she called out
00:55:37a guy
00:55:37seated in the fifth row,
00:55:39a Phoenix plumber
00:55:40in Arizona.
00:55:43Did you succeed?
00:55:44To take the photo, Jack?
00:55:45No.
00:55:47Then she signaled to him
00:55:48to approach
00:55:49laughing.
00:55:50Laughing at each other.
00:55:53The most beautiful one there is,
00:55:55Jack will remember this
00:55:56the rest of his life.
00:56:01But in the midst of the Cold War,
00:56:03journalists
00:56:04will create controversy
00:56:05on the arrival
00:56:06of Marilyn in Korea.
00:56:09Hanson Baldwin,
00:56:10an editor-in-chief
00:56:11from the New York Times,
00:56:12criticizes moral weakness
00:56:14of the US Army
00:56:17and denounces
00:56:18the furry chickens
00:56:19adorned with diamonds
00:56:20who have nothing to do
00:56:21to the armies.
00:56:23Less Monroe
00:56:24and demagogues
00:56:25and more morality.
00:56:33For any response,
00:56:35a lieutenant
00:56:35of the second division
00:56:36he will write
00:56:37"Miss Monroe's visit"
00:56:40was both
00:56:41July 4th,
00:56:42our national holiday,
00:56:43the Super Bowl final
00:56:45and Halloween
00:56:46All in one.
00:56:49The blonde did it.
00:56:50so fresh,
00:56:51so American
00:56:52to lift us up
00:56:53morale.
00:56:55She has uplifted our soul
00:56:57and made us
00:56:58we feel
00:56:59Men again.
00:57:01God bless her.
00:57:09On Friday, February 19th,
00:57:11It's the day of return.
00:57:13In the early afternoon,
00:57:15we land in Seoul
00:57:16before heading to Tokyo.
00:57:20Although exhausted,
00:57:22Marilyn makes statements
00:57:23inflamed in the press.
00:57:26That's the best thing
00:57:27that happened to me
00:57:29and I will keep this memory
00:57:30forever engraved in my heart.
00:57:36That's what you'll claim
00:57:37until your death
00:57:38with certainty
00:57:40for having brought
00:57:40happiness to these men
00:57:42and having done to them
00:57:43forget the absence
00:57:44of their own.
00:57:47A blonde woman
00:57:49and luscious
00:57:50that we thought foolish
00:57:51and that they wanted him to be docile
00:57:53had only
00:57:54returned to the Korean War
00:57:56its human dimension
00:57:58by entrenching the conflict
00:57:59in everyday American life.
00:58:10Upon your return,
00:58:12you will no longer accept
00:58:13to play the umpteenth blonde
00:58:14of the cast.
00:58:16You demand it from Hollywood
00:58:17not just a salary
00:58:18worthy of you
00:58:19but also a right of oversight
