As Monroe made most of her films at Fox, this documentary is at a great disadvantage as Producer David L. Wolper could not get clearances to use film clips from any of them. The Fox Studio wished to protect its investment in its own 1963 documentary on the star entitled "Marilyn" narrated by Rock Hudson.

Quotes
John Huston: At her death the world looked for villains. It found only the troubling truths that life is unfair and cruel, that we see human despair too late, that courage is not always enough. If bravery is measured by the fear it must overcome, then Marilyn's courage was great indeed. She was swept by panics and her life was a continuing crisis.

John Huston: Marilyn Monroe, age 36, died on route to a destination she never reached. She was seeking the oldest of rainbows... to be herself and unafraid.

John Huston: The world called her Marilyn... as if it knew her well... and perhaps it did. Behind the groteque sex goddess of the Hollywood glamor factory, the public recognized a more human figure... the game loser trying to beat the odds, but the real Marilyn Monroe forever remained shadowy and elusive... even to Marily. Throuout her life she pursued an endless search for a missing person... herself. This is the story of that search... The Legend of Marilyn Monroe.
