Based on a firsthand account of a week spent with Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) while she was in England filming "The Prince And The Showgirl" with Sir Laurence Olivier in 1956. Told from the perspective of 23-year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), a lowly production hand on the set of the film who befriended the Hollywood icon, the film charts the brief, charged connection Monroe forged with the young man who came to understand her better than anyone.
