My week with Marilyn Saturday, 25 February
As time goes on and w
e get back in the swing we will work as hard as we
can not to make the same mistakes again. I expect that all who saw the
film are still pondering on
what the
t
houghts of an overheated albino
crocodile might be, but if youre not you might like to consider
Oscar
Night instead. Saturday 25th Feb is the date of our next film and
fund-raising event. We will be showing My Week with Marilyn and offering a glass of wine and the chance to glam up as much as you like. Tickets will be 10GBP, available on the door.

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
Film Starts at 8pm. Refreshments available from 7pm.
Director: Simon Curtis. USA/UK 2011. 99 mins.
In 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant for six months on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl." The film famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was at the same time, on a honeymoon with her new husband, playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott).
Throughout filming, each evening Clark wrote the day s events in a diary. Nearly 40 years after, Clarks book "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but with one week missing. The account of that week was published some years later as "My Week with Marilyn." When Arthur Miller left England, Colin had the opportunity to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a celebrity desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.
