The first and only production by Marilyn's film company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, was filmed in London shortly after Marilyn married Arthur Miller. She starred opposite the legendary Sir Laurence Olivier, and during production discovered a major clash in acting styles and in personality that made filming extremely difficult and painful. Despite the behind the scenes troubles, Marilyn is radiant on the screen.
