内容説明
In 1956, fresh from Eton and Oxford, the 23-year-old Colin Clark (younger son of "Lord Clark of Civilisation", younger brother of notorious maverick Tory MP and diarist Alan) worked as a humble "gofer" on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl", the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier (directing) with Marilyn Monroe, on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller. Nearly 40 years on, his diary account, was chosen as a "book of the year", but one week was missing, and this is the story of that week: an idyll in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from the pressures of working with Olivier and all the people with a vested interest in her. Her new husband Arthur Miller had gone to Paris, and the coast was clear for Colin to introduce her to some of the pleasures of British life.

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
2011/11/2
形式:Kindle版|Amazonが確認した購入
This book is over after the first chapter! H e just keeps repeating the same story over and over,just changing or rearranging the words. As you keep reading it seems he gives himself more importance than nescesary about the job he does. I dont see marilyn being dependent on or loving this guy. Also he seems to make marilyn out to be so helpless,and crying all the time, and kind of dumb. I didnt believe a word of it.

Proposes to be more than it really was

Ok, I feel like something is fishy about this whole thing.
The original book was called The Prince, The Showgirl and Me, and was based on Colin Clark's journals that were written during the filming of The Prince and The Showgirl. Clark's parents were friends with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh and Olivier gave him a job as 3rd assistant director (gofer) on the set.
Clark claims that he kept a separate journal of one week during that time where he and Marilyn became quite close. They didn't have an affair (although Clark claims she kissed him and wanted to have an affair), or even run off somewhere together. Her new husband, Arthur Miller was off in Paris and then New Your City and Marilyn kept Clark as a confidant of sorts.
Apparently, Clark sent a letter to a friend along with those omitted journal entries to be republished along with the original manuscript. To me it seems made up long after the whole experience to gain more attention. The original book on it's own is quiet boring, in my opinion.
The version of the book I read had the journals of the "week" first, then the letter, and then the original The Prince, The Showgirl and Me, which itself barely shows any interaction between Clark and Monroe.
There was nothing scandalous or unusual about that particular week. It was business as usual on the film set. There was no "Imagine sneaking away to spend seven days with the most famous woman in the world...". Clark had been asked by Olivier to speak to Marilyn about coming to the set the next day and from there she started calling him to confide in. I am not saying he is a liar, I just am not really sure what he felt was so special about that week. Maybe because he was a star-struck 23 year old getting attention from a woman whom at the time was the biggest actress in the world? Maybe because he felt special that with the absence of Miller, Monroe leaned on him for attention, although she certainly had enough people around her for that already. Maybe he needed the money? Maybe he wanted attention, himself? Whatever the reason, before reading, I was under the assumption that this was a week the 2 spent off alone together and not just extra information the author decided to add to an already published memoir of work on a movie set. It certainly does not present any new or earthshattering information about the actress herself and I have read many other books on her life that were much better.

more than enough

Some interesting observations but after seeing the film I had expected the author's journals to be more fun to read than I found them to be. A bit repetitive.
