shortDescription

In 1956 twenty-three-year-old Colin Clark began work as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe. The blonde bombshell and the legendary actor were ill suited from the start. Monroe, on honeymoon with her new husband, the celebrated playwright Arthur Miller, was insecure, often late, and heavily medicated on pills. Olivier, obsessively punctual, had no patience for Monroe and the production became chaotic. Clark was perceptive in his assessment of what seemed to be going wrong in Monroe's life: too many hangers-on, intense insecurity, and too many pills. Before long, Monroe and Clark spent an innocent week together in the English countryside and Clark became her confidant and ally. This special theatrical edition also includes The Prince, The Showgirl and Me, Colin Clark's diary during the film's production.

   • content: At the age of 23, the author served as a gofer on the set of the movie THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, filmed in London in 1956 and starring the much-lauded Laurence Olivier and the highly medicated Marilyn Monroe. Clear, crisp, and British-born, Simon Prebble provides a sincere and authoritative tone and also offers an occasional offhand breathy vocal characterization of Monroe. This is soon to be a motion picture with high-profile leading actors; the story, built from the late Clark's diaries, seems more than a bit inflated and bombastic, seemingly recalling memories in a highly creative way. Nonetheless, there are insights into the private moments of Monroe and her marriage to writer Arthur Miller. This is a sympathetic story--but hardly enlightening. Without any explanation, the audiobook contains two works written by Clark: THE PRINCE, THE SHOWGIRL, AND ME as well as MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. The combination makes matters confusing and in parts repetitive. Superb narration elevates an otherwise routine effort. W.A.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
