Scandal (1989)
Country: GB
Technical: col 115m
Director: Michael Caton-Jones
Cast: John Hurt, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Ian McKellen, Bridget Fonda
Synopsis:
1963: when the Conservative Minister of Defence has an affair with an exotic dancer, it spells scandal for the government and personal ruin for the happy-go-lucky osteopath who discovered her and pimped her around high society circles.
Review:
A rather unnecessary recreation of the Profumo affair, with a tired air about it as if it had been done because it was there to be done. Hurt does fine work as Stephen Ward, but Whalley-Kilmer is so demure, one wonders what she got them so hot under the collar about.
