My Week With Marilyn


In early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) — 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 Lawrence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and the recently married Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), still honeymooning with new husband, playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott).

Nearly 40 years on, Clark's diary account "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but one week was missing. It was the week when Miller left England and the coast was clear for Clark to introduce Marilyn to some of the peasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hanger-ons and the pressures of work.
