Smörgåsbord 45..........a few new TV movies and filled out by a couple of recent British films.
Doors Open
"Bored millionaire Mike Mackenzie is a man
with a broken heart and too much time on his hands. Incensed by wealthy
patrons hiding works of art away in private collections, he and two
close friends - a professor and a banker - devise a plot to swap
priceless masterpieces stored in a gallery's warehouse with near-perfect
forgeries. If successful, Mike will save the paintings and might just
win back the love of his life, auctioneer Laura Stanton, who left him
five years earlier. Thriller based on the book by Ian Rankin, starring
Douglas Henshall, Stephen Fry, Kenneth Collard, Lenora Crichlow and
Brian McCardie."
Restless
"Young graduate Ruth Gilmartin is shocked
when her mother Sally reveals details of her early life as Russian
emigre Eva Delectorskaya, recruited by the British Secret Service during
the Second World War. Although nearly 40 years have elapsed since then,
the former agent believes that missions undertaken during the conflict
on behalf of her spymaster - and lover - Lucas Romer have served to
place her life in danger. A two-part dramatisation of William
Boyd's acclaimed espionage thriller, starring Hayley Atwell and Rufus
Sewell, with Michael Gambon, Michelle Dockery and Charlotte Rampling."
The Making Of A Lady
"Period drama based on Frances Hodgson
Burnett's romantic novel The Making of a Marchioness. Impoverished Emily
marries her employer's wealthy, widowed nephew Lord Walderhurst for
money, rather than love, and the pair move from London to his stately
home. Their relationship begins to blossom, but Walderhurst's staff are
suspicious of their new lady and her life is put in danger when she
fosters a friendship with her husband's nephew and his Indian wife.
Starring Lydia Wilson, Linus Roache, Joanna Lumley and James D'Arcy."
