A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn (Short 2019)

A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn: Directed by Alessandra Gonnella. With Miriam Leone, Paul Davis, Eduard De Berner, Diana Dublewicz. An audacious Italian journalist who has interviewed the most powerful people on Earth is sent to Hollywood to chase her most evasive subject yet, Marilyn Monroe.

“Not sure why this film is not rated much higher here on IMDB. Oriana Fallaci stands as the top European journalists. She was so tenacious, in Pakistan reporting on the condition of women there in 1961, removing the u0026quot;Chadoru0026quot; she was forced to wear to interview Khomeni, and in scores of penetrating interviews with leading figures of the 1960s and decades following. She opened Kissinger like a tin can in what is considered to be his most candid interview.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven in her semi retirement as she witness the 911 attacks in Manhattan from a few blocks away, she insightfully wrote about the forces of Islamic extremism that brought that about.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis vignette on her being assigned to chase down Marylin Monroe for a European glossy is just wonderfully done period piece.”
