Review

The Sex Symbol (1974) was an early example of the made-for-TV movie. Based upon the novel The Symbol by Alvah Bessie, a book that thinly veiled the triumphs and trying times of libido icon Marilyn Monroe, the movie aroused much controversy and dispute upon its original telecast, with several interested parties threatening to sue. Fifties good girl Connie Stevens plays good and bad as the doomed platinum sexual superstar. Original viewers of The Sex Symbol were gypped out of the picture’s most revealing shots of nudity. Don’t let the same cheat happen to you.
