dir: Simon Curtis

In the summer of 1956, Colin Clark works as an assistant on the British set of The Prince and the Showgirl, which stars Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, who is also on honeymoon with her new husband, playwright Arthur Miller.

While I've just finished "Fragments", a recent book containing Marilyn Monroe's personal reflections, poems and letters, this film just doesn't cut it. While Monroe's inner demons are somewhat displayed, who is to say this is - as the film claims - the truth? I can't help but ponder the level of distortion. Williams plays very well.
