Question of Attribution (A)
- Director: John Schlesinger
- Writer: Alan Bennett
- Producer: Innes Lloyd
CGiii Comment
Anthony Blunt gets the Bennet/Schlesinger treatment.
Fox is spellbinding, the dialogue mesmeric and the Queen shoots venom with panache.
Faultless - a production that encapsulates the best of talented people.
There was a trailer...but, for some unknown reason, the BBC blocked it!
The(ir) Blurb...
Sir Anthony Blunt, who was a Soviet agent for 25 years, is routinely questioned and gives no answers, but is knighted and works as Director of the Courtauld Institute, and presents his interrogator with a puzzle in the shape of a doubtful Titian painting. He also does art restoration work in Buckingham Palace, where he gets into an interesting conversation with HMQ.
