June 15, 2024… #movieoftheday is The Falklands Play (full movie) (2002).
“The Falklands Play is a dramatic account of the political events leading up to, and including, the 1982 Falklands War . The play was written by Ian Curteis , an experienced writer who had started his television career in drama but had increasingly come to specialize in dramatic reconstructions of history. It was originally commissioned by the BBC in 1983, for production and broadcast in 1986, but was subsequently shelved by Controller of BBC One Michael Grade due to its pro-Margaret Thatcher stance and alleged jingoistic tone. This prompted a press furore over media bias and censorship. The play was not staged until 2002, when it was broadcast in separate adaptations on BBC Television and Radio. It was aired again on BBC4, December 1, 2020, over 18 years after it was last transmitted. - more at Wikipedia .
Patricia Hodge stars as Margaret Thatcher opposite James Fox (Lord Carrington) as she presides over the backroom maneuverings that lead to the Falklands War. It’s a gripping account of how Thatcher's government handled the biggest crisis in British foreign affairs since Suez. It follows the breakdown in diplomacy between the Brits, Americans and Argentines, the onset of war and ultimately Britain’s military triumph.
