Additional InformationIn 1963, the conservative British government was shaken to its foundations by the Profumo Scandal. The central character in this disastrous affair was John Profumo, Britain's minister of war, who had become sexually involved with call-girl Christine Keeler, whose 'sponsor' was high-priced osteopath Dr. Stephen Ward. Fancying himself a dashing international adventurer, Ward had also offered Christine to alleged Soviet spy Eugene Ivanov. Another of Ward's stable, Mandy Rice-Davies, allegedly had slept with numerous British and American luminaries. The whole sordid story, which ended with Ward's suicide and Profumo's public disgrace, was recounted with relish in director Michael Caton-Jones's SCANDAL, which featured John Hurt as Stephen Ward, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer as Christine Keeler, Ian McKellan as Profumo, Bridget Fonda as Mandy Rice-Davies, and Jeroen Krabbe as Ivanov.

  • Scandal

    Very evocative. Marvellous cast, marvellous story; sad. Wonderful costumes. Well worth a watch. John Hurt's performance marvellous. Leslie Philips, Ian McKellen. Joanne Whalley, a very young Keith Allen. Great sets. A wonderful and rather exciting, optimistic time: "....you never had it so good" etc. etc.

  • The former Rt Hon John Profumo MP, PC

    Absolutely true to the event of the 1960's what was called The Profumo Affair. The content on screen was accurate, clothes were excellent, same for the location. Sadly two actors were not up to the mark. Overall a very recording of the sancadal which ended the career John Profumo MP, stripped of being a member of the Privy Council. Thereafter, he worked for charity in the East end of London until his death. Good for any film buff collection.

  • Not as good as the recent TV series The Trial of Christine Keeler which tells the story more completely and, I feel, gets nearer to the truth.

    Does a good enough job in telling the story of the Profumo Affair in 110 minutes.

    It cleared up a few questions I had been left with at the time. Very well acted - especially John Hurt's contribution.
