In the summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark joined the set of THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL as an assistant determined to make his way up in the film business. His diary, released 40 years later, documented the tense interactions between Sir Lawrence Olivier and the iconic Marilyn Monroe. But a week was missing from that account, and this is the story of that week – an experience Clark will never forget.
What matters is the performance by Michelle Williams. She evokes so many Marilyns, public and private, real and make-believe. We didn’t know Monroe, but we believe she must have been something like this. – Roger Ebert
