FILM - Glorious 39 (Cert 12A, 128 mins)

Writer/director Stephen Poliakoff is joined in this examination of the dark secrets hidden beneath the decorous surface of the British establishment by a powerhouse cast including Julie Christie, Bill Nighy, Jenny Agutter, Corin Redgrave, David Tennant, Jeremy Northam and Christopher Lee.
