Lithgow's role as Winston Churchill is, IMO, on a par with the late
Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance as Truman Capote.
Perfect! The
biggest loser so far is a churlish Prince Phillip, although I suspect
he will mellow out over time, and, deservedly so,the Duke
of Windsor and Wallis Simpson for whom history has already
spoken. |

ReplyDeleteIs the perfidy of Episode 4 provable?
And in the context of spy leaks in the U.S., is it possible that trusted players within government would work against the interests of a nation's leader?
