Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to executive producer and director Simon Curtis on his DVD commentary, Dame Judi Dench was unavailable for the principal photography period, and her parts had to be filmed about two weeks before the rest of the production. Throughout the movie, Dench and Michelle Williams are never seen in the same shot, including one in which Dench shakes hands with (seemingly) Williams' hand being extended from off-screen. Adam Recht's deft editing gives the illusion that Williams and Dench were being filmed at the same time.
- GoofsA frustrated Olivier tells Colin that he should have cast Vivien to play Elsie instead of Marilyn. Marilyn bought the rights to "The Sleeping Prince" from its author Terence Rattigan, and hired Olivier, who agreed to co-produce the film, to direct; she could not be replaced.
- Quotes
Marilyn Monroe: Little girls should be told how pretty they are. They should grow up knowing how much their mother loves them.

Featured review
I liked this movie, it was a non-judgemental re-telling of a slice of history. I thought the performances were all very good by the leading characters. I have no idea what the real Marilyn was like and I don't think many people do, but Michelle Williams character is a more than plausible interpretation, vulnerable at times, manipulative at others, who really knows where the reality lies, but there was something for everyone's interpretation. The movie did a good job of depicting that moment in time and transporting the audience there for a couple of hours. I guess it is every man's fantasy to have this opportunity, so the story is a satisfying one for any man who has ever wondered what the real Marilyn may have been like.
