in the year 1911 number of royalty from around the world be descend on london for the coronation of king george the fifth . among those be carpathian ruler the prince regent charles ( laurence olivier ) a stiff and dignified and emotionally control man who be try to keep his country in one piece despite some want his 16 year old son nicholas ( jeremy spenser ) to be king . attend the theatre one night he go backstage and be introduce to the cast include bubbly and enchant american showgirl elsie marina ( marilyn monroe ) . she be like a breath of fresh air to him and he invite her for supper . it from there that a delightful and very funny comedy begin and mainly revolve around elsie unfamiliarity with royal protocol and manner and you see two different world collide . one of the funny moment be when elsie end up be lady in wait to the eccentric queen dowager ( sybil thorndyke and attend the coronation with her and charles . ) although not in any way a great film this will cheer you up and you can feast your eye on the beautiful dazzling costume and you would not be able to take your eye off marilyn . she light up the screen and be very funny and touch at the same time . olivier appear a little uncomfortable in a lot of his scene ( maybe he have too much on his mind a he direct this as well ) and in some scene he seem to look really creepy . however his act work for the character of the prince regent who doesn not really know how to handle the situation he in . worth watch but do not expect much and you should really enjoy it .
