Cast: Laurence Olivier, Marilyn Monroe, Sybil Thorndike
Synopsis:

Review:
A legendary clash of acting styles, but the chemistry does come off on screen, however trying the production process was. There is something about Olivier's stiff professionalism that allows Monroe's vulnerability to shine, and there is intelligence between them, it would seem.
