THE DUKE

(Some Language & Brief Sexuality) In
1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old
taxi driver (Jim Broadbent), stole Goya's portrait
of the Duke of Wellington from the National
Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the
only) theft in the Gallery's history. Kempton sent
ransom notes saying that he would return the
painting on condition that the government
invested more in care for the elderly -- he had
long campaigned for pensioners to receive free
television. What happened next became the stuff
of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story
emerge -- Kempton had spun a web of lies. The
only truth was that he was a good man,
determined to change the world and save his
marriage -- how and why he used the Duke to
achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale. Also
stars Helen Mirren.
