In 1956, fresh from Eton and Oxford, the 23-year-old Colin Clark (younger son of "Lord Clark of Civilisation", younger brother of notorious maverick Tory MP and diarist Alan) worked as a humble "gofer" on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl", the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier (directing) with Marilyn Monroe, on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller. Nearly 40 years on, his diary account, was chosen as a "book of the year", but one week was missing, and this is the story of that week: an idyll in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from the pressures of working with Olivier and all the people with a vested interest in her. Her new husband Arthur Miller had gone to Paris, and the coast was clear for Colin to introduce her to some of the pleasures of British life.
