Much Marilyn Monroe in May: five remastered films and a box set…

Fans of the blond goddess will be thrilled to hear that Fox Home Entertainment is getting ready to release a passel o’ Marilyn on DVD this coming May.

Five new discs have been announced, each remastered and presented widescreen in their original aspect ratios. The announced titles are: Gentleman Prefer Blondes, There’s No Business Like Show Business, How To Marry A Millionaire, Bus Stop, and The Seven Year Itch.

The same day, Fox will release a 6-disc set that will include all of the above titles, as well as an extra disc that will contain a documentary called ‘Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days,’. Even more exciting, though, is that they’ve included forty minutes of never-before-seen footage from Marilyn’s never-completed final film, Something’s Got to Give. Now THAT is what I call a bonus feature…

All of these discs will be released on May 29th. Suggested retail price of each single film will be $24.95. The box set will retail for $99.98.
