MY WEEK WITH MARILYN



(Judi Dench appears as Dame Sybil)

A star-studded cast featuring Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne, Emma Watson and Judi Dench appear in My Week With Marilyn, to be screened on M-Net Movies Romance DStv Channel 107 tomorrow (December 7) at 19h00. The production was made in 2011 and was directed by Simon Curtis. Rating 13NL

Marilyn Monroe is perhaps the biggest icon in the history of cinema. Not only was she exquisitely beautiful, she had the charm to steal the hearts of a US President, a baseball hero, one of the greatest writers of her time ... and, well,  an entire nation. What would spending a week with her really be like?

The most famous movie star in the world, Marilyn Monroe, arrives in London for a film shoot and soon captivates everyone on set, in spite of her erratic and disruptive behaviour. Colin, an aspiring director, makes a grave mistake, like so many others had done before him: he falls madly in love.
