In 1956 England, Colin Clark lands a job as a production assistant on the set of ``The Prince and the Showgirl,'' starring Marilyn Monroe . Marilyn is also honeymooning with her new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, but the combined pressure of work and the demands of the Hollywood hangers-on is driving her to exhaustion. When Miller departs for Paris, Colin seizes the opportunity, to give Marilyn respite during a week in the idyllic British countryside.
