"Dumkopff!!"

I am honestly not a Marilyn Monroe fan. I don't dislike her, but I don't see her as anything really special either. However, this is one of the funniest comedies I've seen in a while. I could not stop laughing.
Charles (Laurence Olivier, who was surprisingly good in his comedic role) is a grumpy, rigid, womanizing regent of Carpathia, former prince of Hungary. He comes to England to see the coronation of King George. He's only spending 2 nights in England and wants some "relaxation". He goes to see a play called "The Coconut Girl" and sees Elsie Marina (Marilyn Monroe, in one of her better performances), whom he arranges to meet. Charles tries to seduce her and Elsie resists his attempts...until she falls for him and becomes the seducer.
It's not an EXCELLENT film, but I rated as 5 stars because it's a film I won't easily get tired of watching. I watched it twice in one day and throughly enjoyed it both times. If you enjoy Marilyn Monroe, Laurence Olivier, or just a good laugh, I recommend "The Prince and the Showgirl." |
