Synopsis
In the 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 Laurence
Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams),
who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright
Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott).
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 – 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.
