Hollywood – The Dark Side – Frank Sinatra and Marilyn
Monroe covers the lives of these two Hollywood legends.
***
Hollywood – The Dark Side – Frank Sinatra and Marilyn
Monroe is a documentary that focuses on two of Hollywood’s
biggest names ever. From the good times to the bad, including
various films and scandals, the documentary turns their
lives inside out, exposing the history of their lives from
beginning to end. ***
All in all, there is a lot of ground covered in this
relatively-short documentary (it clocks in at just over
an hour.) There is a wealth of information on Sinatra and
Monroe, as well as the scandals that plagued their lives.
Admittedly, due to its short run time and sheer amount of
life these stars lived, it doesn’t get a chance to go in-depth
with every last detail of their lives. That said, if you’ve
ever extensively studied the careers of these stars, you
probably won’t learn anything new here. Just the same, though,
this is a good documentary and it brings all of this information
together in one handy source. ---
Image and Sound:
As a documentary, this feature consists largely of
archival footage, so the image and sound quality throughout
differs greatly, based on a variety of factors. That said,
everything on this disc looks and sounds pretty good, especially
considering the age of some of the material in question.

Features: |
There are no direct “bonus features” on this disc, however
a bonus episode of the series is included, which covers
the famous Blondes of Hollywood. A nice extra feature, though
I wish there had been more bonus content on the disc.
