My Week with Marilyn 2011

My Week With Marilyn (2011)     Based on a missing chapter from a memoir by Colin Clark.  A lowly production assistant spent a week with the most famous celebrity of the era.  It was during the production of the 1957 comedy romance, The Prince, the Showgirl and Me in 1956.  The film stars Marilyn Monroe and Sir Laurence Olivier.  Monroe had just gotten married to playwright Arthur Miller and they were on their honeymoon as production got underway.
     Michelle Williams makes you feel like you are actually watching the real Marilyn Monroe and Eddie Redmayne is very good as the young third assistant director.  4* (I really liked this movie)

99 min, Drama directed by Simon Curtis with Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh, Dougray Scott, Julia Ormond, Judi Dench, Emma Watson, Dominic Cooper.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.2 out of 10, 83% critic 79% critic on Rotten Tomatoes.
