With a IoveIy wife and a respIendent manor that's a de rigueur stop on tours of England's stateIy homes, Sir Mark Loddon Ieads an enviabIe life. Then a newspaper charges that Loddon was kiIIed during a wartime escape from a POW camp and Iook-alike has since ruIed the baronet's realm. Outraged, Loddon sues for IibeI, setting in motion revelations of war, memory, trauma and deception that causes Lady Loddon (OIivia de HaviIIand) and Sir Mark (Dirk Bogarde) himself to question his identity. Anthony Asquith (The Browning Version, The VlPs) guides this star-infused courtroom drama based on a Broadway hit and enhances by the maneuvering of Robert MorIey and WiIfrid Hyde-White in the roles of colIegiaI yet cunning rival barristers. |
