From Terence Rattigan's " The sleeping prince" . Came to London in 1911 ti preside to the in coronation of George V , the archduke of Carpathia wants to be escort for the night , he finds an American showgirl. Olivier's acting is flawless and Monroe strikes. Question : which of the two stars has take advantage on the other? If " The prince and the showgirl" is already watchable today , it's because of Marilyn Monroe , because at one time of the story that little split comes out as if Olivier , from that moment was too busy to play an aristocratic better than a true one. If he had act like he had in front of him a similar beauty , there was nothing else to do than turn the guard down and give up: Marilyn enlightened up the scene , just with her being an alive presence , she was with her life to dissolve the cold of the perfection of his partner.
