The Making of 'My Week With Marilyn'

Michelle Williams received a best actress nomination for her turn as screen idol Marilyn Monroe while Kenneth Branagh was nominated in the best supporting actor category playing Sir Laurence Olivier.

The film is set during the filming of 1957 romantic comedy The Prince and the Showgirl and focuses on the tense on-and-off set interaction between Olivier and Monroe. Ascot Elite will bow My Week With Marilyn in Germany in April, after the Oscars.
