TV Tuesday: Marilyn Monroe for Coke



I don't know how they got away with the double entendre in this playfully sexy 1953 Coke commercial with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Paar. It's actually a clip from Love Nest (1951), edited into the ad.

New Releases

Warner Home Video: The Wizard Of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition) (Will any of us ever want to hear of this movie after all the exposure it has gotten this year? I think yes, eventually.)

Redemption USA: James Dean: The First American Teenager (As a teen, I recorded this fascinating made-for-TV documentary when it was re-broadcast on public television. I was obsessed with it! If you love Dean, it is a must see.)

Synapse Films: This company is releasing a ton of Mexican horror movies from the fifties, sixties and seventies. I’m intrigued.
