Director: Laurence Olivier
Stars: Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe
It's not as great as it sounds. What a title, though! "The Prince and the Showgirl"!! (Can I get an Amen?) I was waiting for something to happen the whole time, but nothing really did. The Prince sees her in a play, invites her over for dinner, tries to seduce her, and she laughs at him because he really is completely ridiculous. Nobody would like this character- he has no redeeming qualities, so it's kind of bizarre that she actually does end up falling for him later. And they spend a very long time at a coronation, and I just didn't care. And Netflix claims it's romantic, but I found no romance anywhere. So, there you go. Watch this if you are a Marilyn Monroe fan, because she's absolutely gorgeous, as well as entertaining, especially when she's a bit tipsy. But otherwise, I see no point. I'm glad I was keeping busy as I watched it.
I hate giving bad reviews! This stinks! But that's life. Not every movie can be like "Back to the Future", you know.
