"My Week with Marilyn" chronicles a week in the life of Marilyn Monroe in which she escapes the shackles of her Hollywood career and embraces British life with Colin Clark. Directed by Simon Curtis and produced by David Parfitt, the film is based on Colin Clark's diaries and has been adapted for the screen by Adrian Hodges.

In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.

Nearly 40 years on, his diary account "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as "My Week with Marilyn" â€" this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

  • From Hollywood-Elsewhere:

    "It's totally Michelle Williams' film. She's the only justification for making it and for watching it. She really captures Marilyn's whispery allure, drifting attention span, lack of self-confidence and, most importantly, movie star charisma. I don't go in for the all the Oscar speculation stuff, but she's the whole story, a definite Oscar contender, and a [provider of] performance that older Hollywood people will respond to in a big way."

  • The book gives far more information and is fantastic. It will be previewed as an audiobook on 18 & 19 feb bookreportradio. It really is a good read.

  • Well done maybe (have not seen entire film) but Michelle does not have the main physical chareteristics of MM that is her voluptuous body. Michelle, as with a lot of her fellow actresses these days- has the body of a young boy- Monroe was the absolute opposite of this physically, she was all woman- maybe that was really what put her at odds with a lot of the movie world of her day- she was too much woman for them- they could not control her entirely.

  • well done. michelle williams

  • @evestar100 how so?! He makes it sound like the extras are flogging to her, and not to her character.

  • @cacticrisis um you should pay closer attention.

  • i love marilyn monroe and surly any fan would like the role to be played by someone like michelle who can act and play the part correctly rather than just look like her. I think she will do marilyn justice.

  • michelle is by far my favorite actress today and the most talented for sure. she'll win best actress this time around....and she'll deserve it.

  • not your first choice? who would be? please. michelle williams is amazing.

  • Monroe was much more beautiful than Williams. They looks NOTHING alike.
