My Week with Marilyn Synopsis
Throughout filming, each evening Clark wrote the day's events in a diary. Nearly 40 years after, Clark's book "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but with one week missing. The account of that week was published some years later as "My Week with Marilyn." When Arthur Miller left England, Colin had the opportunity to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a celebrity desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.
Based on Colin Clark's second book on his time working on "The Prince and the Showgirl" the film features a superb cast that also includes Derek Jacobi, Julia Ormond, Judi Dench, Toby Jones, Dominic Cooper and Emma Watson. Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh are both certain to get Oscar nominations. Meticulous detail in art and costumer direction captures the time period perfectly.
