My Week with Marilyn
In 1956, Colin, a young man from a good English family, gets his first job in the production company of movie and theatre actor *Laurence Olivier*, husband of the star of *Gone with the Wind*, the now aging *Vivien Leigh*. Colin does a good job and quickly becomes the production assistant for *The Prince and the Showgirl*, in which Olivier co-stars with *Marilyn Monroe*. No sooner has filming started than the problems begin: Monroe drives Olivier crazy with her lateness, her lack of self-confidence, her inability to "connect" with her character and her refusal to submit to his charm. As Colin begins to understand that behind the myth of *Marilyn Monroe* hides a lost soul battered by pills and mental instability, she finds herself drawn to him.
