Comment
Laurence Olivier is a European Prince who meets dancing girl Marilyn Monroe a in club in London in 1911. This starts a friendship between them that is set against a background of political change. This is a disappointing drama despite the presence and talents of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier and a screenplay written by Terrance Rattigan. The events of making the film are retold in the film My Week With Marilyn Monroe.
