About this movie

In the summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne of THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL) 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 (Kenneth Branagh of HAMLET, VALKYRIE) and the iconic Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams of BLUE VALENTINE, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN). But a week was missing from that account, and this is the story of that week - an experience Clark will never forget. As he and Marilyn spend time together, she begins to shake off the insecurity that plagues her and exposes the many complex layers that have fascinated the world since her rise to fame.

As a very affectionate fan of Marilyn Monroe's mind. I was very pleased with this movie. Marilyn wrote a biography about herself that was never finished. It was however published a few years back. After reading her own words then watching this movie as the character tells his story of his time with the actress the more you can see how insecure she was. A must see for anyone who appreciates the American beauty. Michelle Williams is the best Marilyn yet.

*I enjoyed bc over the years I've tried to learn more about Marilyn Monroe n its basically all the same. In my week with Marilyn it gives you a different look at the blonde bombshell and the life she wanted so desperately and respectively earned.

I really would like to thank Michelle for her incredible performance. She captured the raw emotion of Marilyn Monroe. The actor that play Colin was great too. But I'm disappointed with this flim. It wasnt long enough. It leaves u wanting more.
