Scandal (1989)
6/10
Worth watching but not unmissable
5 October 2022
A good all round telling of the Profumo affair that eventually brought down the government. Whaley, Fonda, Mackellen and Hurt are excellent as always.

Expertly acted, with a good score, but could have lost half an hour in editing.

It lacks some emotional depth and an explanation around the political issues that caused the problem.

A good view 60s London and crossroads between the old imperial attitudes and those of young "swinging london" is presented, although little in the way of explanation of either is given.

It seems so keen to end on a specific point that it misses some potentially important issues.
