Really interested in the Profumo affair and saw there was a movie about it, apparently really good and a thoroughly entertaining watch.

Not seen it yet but just wondered what your take on the film was/is.

    I've only seen it once before in 1992 on Channel 4. Apparently, it does pop-up on Film 4 every once in a while. Yes, it is an interesting film with good performances from Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Ian McKellen(as John Profumo), Bridget Fonda and John Hurt. It would be interesting to see it again.

    Watched this again recently and its still very good.
    Bridget Fonda is particularly impressive and nails the accent perfectly.

    'Nothing has Been Proved' by the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield

    Marvellous tune......

    I love that song by Dusty, brilliantly written and sung. It tells the story of the Profumo affair in 4 minutes :p
