A well balanced but not too taxing affair that gives us a brief, but knowing snapshot of the deeply troubled yet magnetic Marilyn Monroe on the set of THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL and the lasting impression she made on a young assistant director.
A study of her heavy insecurities played out against the backdrop of the classic clash between two schools of cinema acting… Laurence Olivier’s theatrics facing off to her modern method approach.
Fantastic on set fireworks.
Some comedy.
Some tragedy.
A touch of romance.
All very competently applied.Excellent central performances from the intoxicating Michelle Williams as Marilyn and a splendidly sharp Kenneth Brannagh as Larry Olivier truly elevate proceedings.
Recommended.

Hi – Per – Bo – Lay
To my knowledge it refers to the use of excessive exaggeration as a rhetorical device.
Or maybe it is indeed just an over excited soup receptacle :roll:

In a box set like!
You can look at the menu
But you just can’t eat
You can feel the cushions
But you can’t have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool
But you can’t have a swim
You can feel the punishment
But you can’t commit the sinAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameYou can build a mansion
But you just can’t live in it
You’re the fastest runner
But you’re not allowed to win
Some break the rules
And live to count the cost
The insecurity is the thing that won’t get lostAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameYou can see the summit
But you can’t reach it
It’s the last piece of the puzzle
But you just can’t make it fit
Doctor says you’re cured
But you still feel the pain
Aspirations in the clouds
But your hopes go down the drainAnd you want her
And she wants you
We want everyoneAnd you want her
And she wants you
No one
No one
No one ever..
Is to blameNo one ever..

Well, I always wanted to be a teacher but after 6 months doing a PGCE and teaching in schools, I bailed out realising that I didn’t actually like kids.
So what I do now, which is closely related, keeps me happy.
A very wise decision :wink:
A very good thread this.
I played rugby union right up till three years ago.. To the extent that I had to be dragged kicking and screaming from the pitch in my final days (best tackles I ever made apparently). Anyway, there’s not a day goes by that I don’t miss playing it. A mixture of feelings pervade.. Chief among them being the sense of “a job half done” as my later years were somewhat blighted by injury. To compound this my form when I did play at this time was perhaps my best ever. But that could all be just a little too subjective. I do miss it dearly though, and sometimes wish that the older, wiser head was perched on the younger body in the earlier days… Just enough to buy another season perhaps when it all came full circle.
I believe this is a common niggle among sporting types however.. And must be a horrendous cross for professionals.
I guess that can be put down to a sense of regret in truth, mixed with nostalgia, a love for the game and a classic Peter Pan complex in males lol. These feelings never last too long to be honest, as I’ve my hands pretty much full at the mo and rarely get the time to selfishly indulge them.
And thank God for that.As for a completely new departure?
I would love to be involved in film in some way.. Be it the process of film making itself or in the journalistic end of reviewing or writing about them. I do like blahing away on paper (when the mood grabs me) so that coupled with a love for movies would certainly fit the bill.
Mother Superior jumped the gun… :D/
