Here’s the true story of The Cat, The Myth and The Legend that is Puss in Boots.

Filled with poignancy, humour and hope and complete with compelling, never-before-seen bonus features ‘The Help’ is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change.

On honeymoon in Britain with her new husband, Arthur Miller, Marilyn is excited about the project but quickly becomes desperate to run away from her Hollywood entourage, the pressures of work and the press who hound her. For Marilyn, Colin is a welcome antidote and he offers her everything she craves when, together, they escape the film set to get closer in an idyllic Britain.
