Minx, marvel and even monster – anecdotes about actress Marilyn Monroe have been diverse. Dying young and becoming a legend she is one of the few stars everyone knows just by their first name. Based on two books by Colin Clark, ‘My Week with Marilyn’ shows why she was adored. Examining Clarke’s involvement with her whilst she filmed ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ it effectively explores many facets of her troubled life.
A fascinating portrait of a troubled and insecure young woman, ‘My Week with Marilyn’ is a top notch production. It brings real insight into the ‘goldfish bowl’ world in which she lived with the fan adulation seemingly feeding her needful nature. Acting opposite an array of acclaimed British actors only increased her doubts about her talents. This clash between British and American thespian styles provides a lot of the story’s emotional conflict with Colin becoming the unwitting go-between.
