| In de zomer van 1956 werkte de 23-jarige Colin Clark, die net van Oxford komt en vastbesloten is om carrière te maken in de filmwereld, als assistent op de set van ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’, de film die Sir Laurence Olivier en Marilyn Monroe verenigde. Deze laatste was ook op huwelijksreis met haar nieuwe man, scenarioschrijver Arthur Miller. Wanneer Arthur Miller Engeland verlaat ligt de weg vrij voor Colin om Marilyn kennis te laten maken met de geneugten van het Britse leven: een idyllische week waarin hij Monroe mocht escorteren, Monroe die wanhopig weg wilde zijn van haar Hollywood-aanhangers en de druk van het werk. |

| Summary: |
In the summer of 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark, determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. When his diary account was published, one week was missing. This is the story of that week: an idyll in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work. |
