PLOT SYNOPSIS


A traveling party of royals from central Europe arrives in England in 1911, as the host country prepares to celebrate the coronation of a new king. But when the visiting Regent (Laurence Olivier) goes to a musical theater, his attraction to American performer Elsie (Marilyn Monroe) makes it hard to stay focused. Soon, Elsie learns of a potential coup in the Regent’s home country, and it’s up to her to smooth things out — or watch as the nation hurtles toward instability.

VIDEO – 5/5, AUDIO – 4/5


The Prince and the Showgirl comes to Blu-ray and is presented in the original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. I’m not entirely sure, however I assume this is a newly restored transfer and like previous Warner Archive releases, this also looks fantastic with sharp detail throughout while colors were vibrant.

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track shows off clear and crisp dialogue with some good depth for some of the background elements and ambient noises.
