Marilyn Monroe's first screen performance after studying with Lee Strasberg at the Actor's Studio finally convinced critics that she was indeed an accomplished actress (in a role originated onstage by Kim Stanley). Director Joshua Logan filmed Marilyn's live rendition of "That Old Black Magic" with two cameras and an offscreen orchestra, eliminating the need for lip-synching to playback, and often let her takes run on and on without stopping so he could cull the best moments in the editing room.

Is that Leslie Nielsen's voice on the trailer? Which makes me think it's kind of surprising no one ever did a Naked Gun type take off on these vigilante movies. Maybe it's too narrow a genre for that kind of satire, but Nielsen rampaging through the streets, killing off muggers played by Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Robert Stack, while being tracked by hardnose cop William Shatner, might have been pretty good.

One of my absolute favorite Charles Bronson films alongside Once Upon A Time in the West, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, 10 To Midnight and The Mechanic.
