STORY
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 united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe, who, whilst shooting, 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 is the story of that week: an idyll in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of working. When Arthur Miller makes a brief trip to Paris, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce her to some of the pleasures of British life.
The collision of the two worlds - old England and new Hollywood - is as incongruous as it is delightful. Slowly Marilyn begins to shake off the dark fog of insecurity and fear always hovering around her. She reacts with lovely naturalness to this alien world and as she relaxes she offers Colin fleeting insights into her own background - one of family madness, single-minded ambition and uninhibited sexuality. Simply and without self-pity, she relates the tale of her rise to the top in Hollywood; a story involving abuse of one form or another at the hands of almost every man she has ever known, abuse that has left her with only the thinnest of protective layers.

She is not without her contradictions - everyone wants something from her, but she too is fixated on the life she has chosen and is quite unable to leave it, even though the pressure is crushing her...
... and yet, for a moment, lost in the English countryside, it seems she might finally escape.

  • IIIIIIIIIIII NEEEEEEEDDDD!!!

  • @kingkong14957 I came here to watch a trailer for a recent movie that looks pretty good. The trailer doesn't show the real Marylin Monroe but a young actress from nowadays, by the way. Then I read your comment and I didn't agree with it, which doesn't mean I disrespect you. So I wrote my opinion. There is nothing insulting about it at all!!! You don't seem to respect other artists than your own favourites. That is the only sign of disrespect I can sense here.

  • @Schalkelinho then go watch videos about them instead of coming here to bitch and insult marilyn fans. God ! gotta love the internet it's perfect for this kind of stupid shit !

  • @kingkong14957 Come on, don't get to excited about Marylin Monroe! Just take the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and I will name you a bunch of people who did greater things for culture than she did and are equally or even more famous. Best example: Elvis Presley.

  • er... why is the top comments about emma watson and wtf katy perry?!?!?!

    What has katy perry gotto do with this??!?!?!

  • i guess there are many other actresses that would do marilyn better. not that michelle ins't good, but she really doesnt look like her.

  • i can't wait to see this :)

  • I had my doubts, but Michelle Williams was SENSATIONAL. It was really like watching Marilyn herself, the closest impression it will ever be.

  • R.I.P Marilyn Monroe. You're the best. We love you.
