The Hollywood Collection, comprises classic films, movie stars, movie trailers and production shorts.
From the earliest nickelodeon pictures and Hollywood talkies to classic movies from the motion picture ‘golden era’, the collection vividly records the history of Hollywood production from the 1920s to the 1970s.
We have a wonderful selection of Marilyn Monroe footage ranging from her early swimsuit modelling days to queen of the silver screen and international glamour girl.
