My Week With Marilyn

Dramatisation of the time Marilyn Monroe spent in Britain filming The Prince and The Showgirl with Laurence Olivier. Lovely little film, great performances from all, especially Kenneth Branagh as Olivier. And not as fluffy as the trailer suggests, given that the affair suggested by the title, with the film's third assistant director, is much more about Monroe's neuroses and insecurities than it is about any sort of romance.
