"The Asphalt Jungle" (1950) Monroe played some tough stuff early in her career, as in this famously grim, John Huston-directed drama about a jewel heist gone haywire. It's part of Turner Classic Movies' all-day "Summer Under the Stars" tribute to Monroe on Saturday, Aug. 27. "All About Eve" (1950) While Monroe isn't a major player in this classic backstage drama, it still ranks as one of the best films she was in. "Monkey Business" (1952) A potion that makes people act considerably younger fuels this Howard Hawks-directed comedy that had Monroe working with two other screen icons, Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. "Niagara" (1953) The title falls provides the memorable backdrop to this melodrama about a larcenous newlywed (Monroe). "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953) As Lorelei Lee, a singer on a cruise ship bound for Paris, Monroe is a blonde who certainly is preferred in the musical-comedy in which she popularized the tune "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953) Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall play models intent on landing rich husbands in this classic comedy. "River of No Return" (1954) A harrowing raft trip, with Monroe on board, is a highlight of this Otto Preminger-directed melodrama. "The Seven Year Itch" (1955) Street grate. Billowing skirt. Eternally iconic image. 'Nuff said. "Bus Stop" (1956) Monroe had one of her most challenging roles as a singer who becomes the obsession of a rodeo rider (Don Murray). "Some Like It Hot" (1959) As Sugar Kane, the comely cohort of two disguised musicians on the run (Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis), Monroe is a major factor in director Billy Wilder's legendary comedy. "The Misfits" (1961) Written by Arthur Miller, her husband at the time of the drama's filming, Monroe's last completed film – reuniting her with director John Huston – casts her and Clark Gable as a romantically involved couple with different takes on the treatment of wild horses.
