"The Crown" dispelled -albeit without much evidence--the decades-old shibboleth Hugh Gaitskell died at 56 from poisoning by Soviets to make Harold Wilson party ldr. The MI-6 head tells the Queen Wilson's election against favored Geo. Brown was s surprise. — PolitiTweet.org

"The Crown" had superb portrayal of Harold Wilson, & I especially loved how he admits to the Queen he doesn't really care for art but as an economist, he prefers numbers 'cause they don't change & aren't open to interpretation. "W. numbers, what you see is what you get " he says. — PolitiTweet.org

The Profumo episode of "The Crown" was an historical feast for me, but the one about Sir Anthony Blunt being found as a Red agent was smashing! Loved how the Queen is told by M1-5 that a Soviet plant has penetrated highest levels of UK.& immediately assumes it's PM Harold Wilson! — PolitiTweet.org

In "The Crown," if was a delight to see the Macmillans watching Peter Cook do his devilishly clever impression of the PM (w. Dudley Moore next to him). Mac took it personally, in contrast to JFK enjoying his impression by Vaughn Meader--altho he said "he sounds more like Teddy"). — PolitiTweet.org

As one who has read everything one could in Profumo scandal, I liked "The Crown's" portrayal of procurer Dr. Stephen Ward was 1st rate & John Profumo's actor was a near-lookalike. Glad to glimpse Christine Keeler but where was Mandy Rice-Davies? — PolitiTweet.org
John Gizzi @johngizzi
"The Crown" episode w. the Royal Family welcoming the Kennedys to the Palace was outstanding--esp. private talk w. the Queen & Jackie. One slight error: when JFK lit up one of his wife's cigarettes. He was a complete cigar man Luke Churchill & wld never have bummed her cigarettes — PolitiTweet.org

In "The Cardinal," tears fell as Fr. Furmoyal, on ground bleeding morning after KKK horsewhipped him to tune of "Dixie" & man comes w. cream for wounds. When Fr. realizes he was w. KKK, he says he felt differently later, & Fr. says "Don't explain. Just play(Dixie on harmonica)." — PolitiTweet.org

When "The Cardinal" was made (1963), you had real actors: Burgess Meredith as the humble Fr. Halle, John Huston as Cardinal Glennon, & Ossie Davis as the crusading black priest Fr. Gillis. What a line-up! — PolitiTweet.org

Moved watching "The Cardinal" by the scene of Stephen Furmoyle being consecrated a bishop in the Vatican in solemn ritual-'ALL IN LATIN! — PolitiTweet.org

Conspicuously absent from Furmoyle family when Stephen becomes "The Cardinal" is mean-spirited sister Flora, who mocks sister Mona's love for a Jewish boy (This was actress Maggie MacNamara's last film; in 1978, she died from overdose of sleeping pills at age 50). — PolitiTweet.org

Delightful night watching "The Cardinal", epic 1963 film by Otto Preminger starring Tom Tryon of Wethersfield, CT (next to my good old home town of Newington) w. Msgr. Joseph Ratzinger Benedict XVI) as Vatican's technical advisor. — PolitiTweet.org

Captivated by opening of latest episode of "The Crown," in which Capt. Townsend wakes up to write Princess Margaret of his intention to marry 19-yr-old Belgian & she wakes up to receive the news--all to the tune of one of my favorites, "The Wonder of You," by Ronnie Hilton. — PolitiTweet.org

OMG! In "The Crown," Elizabeth learns that as King Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor shared top secrets w. then-girlfriend Wallis Simpson-who was sharing a bed w. von Ribbentrop, German Ambassdor to Ct. of St. James. — PolitiTweet.org

"The Crown" focused on Lord Altrincham, publisher who suggested graciously that Queen make reforms to bring monarchy in modern times--open palace for tours, go on TV with C'mas speech, sack Old Guard in royal Ct,, & end debutante ball (disagreed w. last one--love those balls). — PolitiTweet.org
