The Winslow Boy
1999
***
Director: David Mamet
Cast: Nigel Hawthorne, Rebecca Pidgeon, Jeremy Northam, Gemma Jones, Guy Edwards
In 1911 a retired banker is prepared to go to lengths to restore the family's good name after his 13-year-old son is accused of theft. This stagy period drama is well made and acted but not terribly exciting. This must be the first David Mamet film not to feature any foul language, and that's because it's based on Terence Rattigan's 1946 play.
