âMarilyn vs. Marilynâ tells the story of a little-known period of Marilynâs life â the years she spent in New York, trying to became a âseriousââ actress, taking lessons with Lee Strasberg and setting up a production company with her photographer and trusted friend, Milton Green. Based on hitherto unpublished â and magical - photos from the Greene archives, the film focuses on the photographic image of a woman who remains one of the greatest legends in the history of cinema⊠and an enduring enigma.
