The Prince and the Showgirl is a 1957 Screwball Comedy film starring Laurence Olivier (who also directed) and Marilyn Monroe. It was adapted by Terence Rattigan from his own 1953 stage play The Sleeping Prince.Set against the backdrop of the 1911 coronation of King George V, the film stars Olivier as Prince Charles, a strict Ruritanian regent, and Monroe as Elsie Marina, a fun-loving American showgirl. Before long, Elsie finds herself involved not only in a royal romance, but in some international intrigue which could lead to a world war.Twenty-first-century audiences may know this movie best as the Film Within a Film in My Week with Marilyn. Coincidentally, My Week with Marilyn was released in 2011, exactly a century after the 1911 setting of The Prince and the Showgirl. | |

Curtain Camouflage: Mild version, as the Regent is in a different room but peers out the window as Elsie talks to her friends from the next balcony. | |

Avoiding the Great War | |
| The Prince and the Showgirl / int_a71e0a1a | comment |
Avoiding the Great War: Carpathia is in the Entente Alliance, but the underage King Nicolas is pro-German. Impatient to assume power, he plots with the Germans to oust the regent, an action which could lead to World War I starting three years early. Elsie prevents this from happening by mending the relationship between Prince Charles and King Nicolas. | |

No Sense of Humor: Elsie tells her friends that the Regent has no sense of humor. When he confronts her on this, she modifies it to being a "Carpathian" sense of humor: just as good, but...different. | |
