Marilyn Examined

Eve and Marilyn
ISBN: ?
Details: Color. 1987?
Distributor: ?

This very interesting documentary is mainly an interview with photographer Eve Arnold, and was apparently made around the time that her book, Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation, was released. Many of Arnold's photographs of Marilyn that didn't make it into her book are shown in this documentary. I don't know whether or not this was ever commercially released.
