Marilyn Monroe - The Prince And The Showgirl - Part 4

When Grandduke Charles, the prince-regent of Carpatha, a fictitious Balkan country which could start a European war by switching alliances, visits London for the coronation of the new British king in 1911, and spends his one evening off at the Coconut Girl club, the reputed stickler for protocol is so charmed by a clumsy American understudy that he orders his British attaché to invite her to the embassy for a private supper. Being overlooked and understanding German, she learns of the repressive attitude of the regent and the plans of his reformist, pro-German minor son, king Nicholas, to take over power by surprise, but doesn't dodge and tries to reconcile father and son. The queen-dowager decides to make her lady-in-waiting for the coronation day, so she stays in the picture to everyone else's surprise.

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was her greatest film, but this--this is her greatest performance. Period.

[funkbebe]

she's doing something no one else did at the time: moving in character like a screen actor pro.

she deserved an oscar for this and "bus stop".

but hollywood not only literally collaborated with hoover's political murder of her, but is still committing figurative crimes against fine actresses while consistently rewarding blank and mediocre ones.

She's so cute when she's acting drunk. Very convincing, too!

[georgese]

she was a good comedian. RIP

Olivier was without a doubt the finest actor to ever grace our silver screen. He and Ronald Coleman. He was stunning in Wuthering Heights. He and Vivien Leigh loved each other but careers blocked each other. Sad

[HeatherGlen33]

The reason for that is because they put the Jewish actors ahead of anyone else. They own Hollywood, and TV, and radio. Their own come first. Marilyn did not sleep with the big wigs, and they don't like that.

Olivier's performance makes me feel like he is on the verge of shotgunning the Czar and his family. At one point, I expect Rasputin to run in. Scary!

[roses00000]

she had problems... it's a miracle that she even performed any more...
