Niagara – Fashion Film Club chat with Marilyn Monroe biographer Andrew Wilson

The Fashion Film Club’s Sarah Bailey discusses Marylin, behind the scenes anecdotes, costumes and more around classic Niagara with Andrew Wilson, author of I Wanna Be Loved By You – Marilyn Monroe, A Life in 100 Takes.

A famous sequence in which Monroe deploys a now iconic hip-swinging walk, demonstrates her skilful ability to use her body as an instrument to express character.
