Movie Reviews of The Prince and the Showgirl
Movie Review: Get it for Monroe
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a very mediocre movie. If it did not have the divine Marilyn and sir Olivier in it, if others had played their parts, nobody today would remember this flick. As it is, Olivier does well playing an ultra stuffed-shirt aristocrat, as there is nothing more to the character than that. The only real virtue of the movie is Marilyn, who in this movie, even more so than many of her others, is . . . how should I put this . . . Totally HOT.
Summary of The Prince and the Showgirl
The prince of carpathia courts an american showgirl in london in 1910. The tape also shows a greedy for tweedy cartoon coming atractions for spirit of st louis and a newsreel Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/27/2005 Starring: Laurence Olivier Marilyn Monroe Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Laurence OlivierDestined to remain a curio in the careers of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier, The Prince and the Showgirl is a good movie that might have been great. While's she's wonderful as a saucy showgirl with a knack for foreign relations, Monroe's off-screen notoriety in 1957 made this a directorial nightmare for Olivier, who never bursts out of his stiff-collared finery as the Carpathian Prince Regent, who's smitten by Marilyn's innocent, unpolished candor. Of course, she's actually smarter than the monocled monarch, at least in her sensible handling of his stuffed-shirt diplomacy, so it's easy to forgive Terence Rattigan's script (from his play The Sleeping Prince) for favoring pomp over circumstance. The comedy percolates without bubbling over in this tale of opposites attracting, but it's a top-drawer production anyway, blessed by Jack Cardiff's gorgeous Technicolor cinematography and by the charm of costars who successfully concealed their off-screen anxieties. --Jeff Shannon
