Dangerous Years (1947)
Poster 
It was during her first contract with the Fox Studios that in "Dangerous Years", filmed in June 1947, Marilyn played for the first time apart where she had to speak. She was "loaned" by the Fox to the Sol Wurtzel Productions and was compensated for one week of work.
She played a young waitress, Eve, ina bar named "Gopher Hole", frequented by young offenders.
Even it it wasn't her first movie, it was the first whose release was national (in December 1947, the date where the Fox didn't renew her contract).
She appears at the 14th rank in the credits.Pictures

SYNOPSIS
Danny Jones (William Halop) is a young offender who wants to sow discord in a club where the young people of the city meet together during the hard years of the adolescence. Jones enrolls the people under 20 years to organize a robbery.
Marilyn has a small part in this movie : she is the waitress of the bar where the bad boys meet. One of the young people is murdered. Danny is under arrest. Instead of the complicated disclosures about his childhood, his real origins and the existence of a troth, he is convicted of life imprisonment.
