Marilyn Monroe was sewn into a new pair of skin-tight jeans for almost every scene in #RiverOfNoReturn in 1953. Here, #OttoPreminger stands over her on Bow River near where #TheRevenant was shot 60 years later. It was her first summer as a sex symbol. She was 27. #booksky #stunningbackdrop #moviesky
#ErnstLubitsch loved filming #EternalLove atop Victoria Glacier at #LakeLouise in Sept 1928. Up at 5 am every day to ride donkeys & horses to set. Like #TerrenceMalick did for #DaysofHeaven 50 years later, Lubitsch waited hours for legendary Alberta Magic Light. #moviesky #stunningbackdrop #booksky
