![]() ![]() My heart feels so tender after finishing it. The movie is really well made and loyal to the book but the book, is wait better. In 1956, fresh from Oxford University, twenty-three-year-old Colin Clark began work as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl. I think he describes her perfectly in the diary with both goods and bads. Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe along with the visits of Vivien Leigh, Ginger Rogers and an array of movie stars, I gasped! Colin also describes de unions, the dynamic with the extras and obviously Marilyn. The description of being on a movie set with Sir. Sometimes, during the second part, it gets a little tired because he refers to people by their initials, so it gets hard to keep up. 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. ![]() I loved the dynamic of the audio because the first part is a dramatized version of the authors diary and the second part, is the literal reading of the diary. I saw the movie on Netflix and was hooked. The movie stays true to the book but the book is betterįirst book of this year. ![]()
