00:00:11If your sweetheart sends a letter a good-bye,
00:00:26it's no secret.
00:00:29You feel the record.
00:00:33This way, by the way.
00:00:43The end of the bar.
00:00:49Hello.
00:00:50Hello, Porchy.
00:00:54Find the place all right now?
00:00:55Taxi driver, dear?
00:00:57Yes.
00:00:58Of course.
00:01:00Wonderful.
00:01:15Is it just me or is this place faintly ridiculous?
00:01:20Two of my great hates in life, fine dining in central London.
00:01:25I just thought it's the kind of special occasion place one came if one had a special question
00:01:31to ask.
00:01:43This moment I wish I were a poet, not a horse breeder.
00:01:55Will you marry me?
00:02:01Oh, poor G.
00:02:03That sounds like a no.
00:02:05No.
00:02:06No.
00:02:06It's not a no.
00:02:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:12Twelve no's.
00:02:14I would love to.
00:02:16On one condition.
00:02:19That you don't still hold a torch for her.
00:02:23Who?
00:02:25Who?
00:02:27Her.
00:02:36I know how close you were and how close your families still are.
00:02:41It's true.
00:02:41She and I, we are close.
00:02:43I was close to her father.
00:02:45I am close to her sister.
00:02:46Our families are close.
00:02:48In many ways, and I speak as a breeder myself, it would have been a good match.
00:02:52Perfect match.
00:02:53I won't deny it.
00:02:56Except for the fact it was never on the cards.
00:03:03For her, there was only ever Philip.
00:03:22And for you?
00:03:32It was only you.
00:03:45Who?
00:03:46Doctor.
00:03:47Who?
00:03:47Who?
00:03:47Who?
00:03:48Who?
00:03:50Who?
00:03:51Who??!
00:03:55Who?
00:04:02Who?
00:04:09Elizabeth.
00:04:32Elizabeth.
00:05:02Elizabeth.
00:05:34Elizabeth.
00:05:35Elizabeth.
00:05:35Elizabeth.
00:05:44Elizabeth.
00:06:02Right, you are, Jock.
00:06:03Yes, I'll let him know.
00:06:06I'm sure he'll be delighted.
00:06:09Bye.
00:06:18Are you winning?
00:06:20No.
00:06:22There was one brief tantalizing moment, and I thought I had it.
00:06:29I moved in for the kill.
00:06:32But then one wrong brush stroke, and it got away once again.
00:06:38I've just been talking to Jock about your 80th birthday.
00:06:42Oh, don't mention it.
00:06:43Because it happens on the same day as the opening of Parliament,
00:06:47they've decided to combine events
00:06:49and hold a reception in your honour at the Great Hall.
00:06:53Oh, that's very nice.
00:06:55Oh, and it's going to be Graham Sutherland.
00:06:58Who?
00:06:59The painter.
00:07:00To paint your portrait.
00:07:01What portrait?
00:07:03The official portrait commissioned by both houses.
00:07:06It's your present.
00:07:08Sutherland?
00:07:09Hmm.
00:07:11Never heard of him.
00:07:12He's got quite the reputation.
00:07:14He's a modernist.
00:07:15Oh, I'm sure I can trust a modernist with an English name.
00:07:19Give me a German modernist.
00:07:22Or an Italian.
00:07:24They're the ones who have to start all over again.
00:07:27Whatever would an Englishman want to change?
00:07:51It's grand to be home again after so long an absence.
00:07:55The surgeon who operated on me told me yesterday that all was well.
00:08:00I'll need to have a further period of convalescence, put on some weight.
00:08:07There's nothing else to worry about.
00:08:09As I said, it's grand to be home again.
00:08:13I look forward to being back at work just as soon as possible.
00:08:37Hello?
00:08:39Poor G.
00:08:40I hope I'm not disturbing.
00:08:42Goodness.
00:08:43Am I disturbing?
00:08:47No.
00:08:48Good.
00:08:49It's all real.
00:08:50I think we're making a mistake.
00:08:52I think we should lead from the start.
00:08:55And I think you're wrong.
00:08:57But we both know he doesn't hold up naturally.
00:08:59We tried holding him up against Darius before, and Darius won.
00:09:03That was the Guineas, which is a mile.
00:09:06This is the King George, a mile and a half.
00:09:11What will we do if he plays up before the race?
00:09:13He always plays up.
00:09:15That's who he is.
00:09:17You don't seem the slightest bit worried.
00:09:20Anything else?
00:09:23Well, can I just say one more time, for the record,
00:09:28I think we should start fast and run at a good clip.
00:09:33Noted.
00:09:34I am right sometimes, you know.
00:09:36Even you said yourself that I have good instincts.
00:09:39You do.
00:09:41I might well live to regret it.
00:09:44That and a good many other things.
00:09:47Oh dear, such is.
00:09:49Good night.
00:09:52Good night.
00:10:29Mr. Sutherland, Prime Minister.
00:10:30Good morning.
00:10:32How do you do?
00:10:33Good morning.
00:10:33Hello.
00:10:34How do you do?
00:10:34Good morning.
00:10:35How do you do, sir?
00:10:36It's an honor.
00:10:37I don't know.
00:10:37The honor is mine.
00:10:45So where do you want me?
00:10:52So, will we be engaged in flattery or reality?
00:10:57Are you going to paint me as a cherub or a bulldog?
00:11:01I imagine there are a great number of Mr. Churchills.
00:11:04Yes, indeed there are.
00:11:06Well, as you search for him, perhaps I can implore you not to feel the need to be too accurate.
00:11:14Why?
00:11:15Accuracy is truth.
00:11:16No, for accuracy we have the camera.
00:11:20Painting is the higher art.
00:11:24I paint a bit myself, you know.
00:11:27Yes, sir, I know.
00:11:29And I never let accuracy get in the way of truth if I don't want it to.
00:11:34If I see some landscape I like and I wish there wasn't a factory in the background, I leave the
00:11:41factory out.
00:11:45So, Mr. Sutherland, tell me, I'm fascinated.
00:11:48What is your process?
00:11:54First, I should take some photographs.
00:11:57They'll be useful as reference when I get back to the studio.
00:12:00Then I shall do some charcoal sketches, studies of the head, hands.
00:12:03And then I'll work the sketches out.
00:12:09The actual painting will be done in my studio.
00:12:16Is this, do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect, all right, carry on.
00:12:22Neil, what pose are you thinking of?
00:12:27Seated.
00:12:31A good right standing.
00:12:33It might be more commanding.
00:12:36Dynamic.
00:12:38It might make me look younger.
00:12:42I thought the painting was supposed to celebrate reaching a certain age.
00:12:46Four score years, Winston.
00:12:47I think seated is more senatorial.
00:12:52Oh, senatorial.
00:12:55What nonsense.
00:13:00Yes, I agree.
00:13:08Cigar or no cigar?
00:13:13No cigar.
00:13:15Garter rose or no garter rose?
00:13:17No finery.
00:13:19No grandiosity.
00:13:22Dressed merely as a parliamentarian.
00:13:26A prosaic.
00:13:32I liked him.
00:13:33Yes, I could tell.
00:13:35He was smith, blushing like a little girl.
00:13:39Well, he's rather a wow.
00:13:42A wow?
00:13:43Torn, handsome.
00:13:45Saturnine.
00:13:47A bit of a Heathcliff.
00:13:48He wants total control.
00:13:50Well, any artist worth anything would insist on that.
00:13:54We don't really want to flatter her.
00:13:55Yes, I do.
00:13:56No, you don't.
00:13:58Besides, it's manifestly clear he's a fan.
00:14:00Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:01You can smell the socialism on him.
00:14:04Even the socialists acknowledge you saved the country.
00:14:07Well, through gritted teeth.
00:14:10I have the protective instincts of a loving wife,
00:14:13and I can tell you this one is not an assassin.
00:14:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:17What's the last one?
00:14:18Oh, look at this.
00:14:19Oh, look at this.
00:14:19Oh, look at this.
00:14:19That was the one.
00:14:20Kathy Oriel.
00:14:21The 50th of the game.
00:14:23The first boy can do it as we go.
00:14:24And what's the first, Oriel one?
00:14:54It's so fair, Oriel.
00:14:56I know, I know.
00:15:26I remember getting the phone call from your father
00:15:29when he was born.
00:15:31By Hyperion, out of Angelola.
00:15:33Yes, we gave him his first milk, remember?
00:15:37Watching him grow up,
00:15:39everyone thought his elder brother would be the star.
00:15:41Your clever papa always had an instinct for this one.
00:15:44The underdog.
00:15:45And he backed him.
00:15:47And an underdog became a star.
00:15:50Yes, it is his favorite horse.
00:15:53So, what's next, Rajan?
00:15:56Well, we've received an invitation to the Laurel International.
00:16:02America?
00:16:03Yes, next month.
00:16:05Well, he's what?
00:16:06Four?
00:16:08Already at the older end of the spectrum.
00:16:10Hmm.
00:16:10If you were asking my opinion.
00:16:12Well, that is why I asked for you today.
00:16:16My honest advice?
00:16:18I'd consider retiring him now.
00:16:20At the top of his game.
00:16:22The best middle-distance horse in Europe with a sky-high market value.
00:16:27Let him earn you some proper money as a star.
00:16:30Well, I'm surprised to hear you turn down the opportunity of going to America.
00:16:37Why?
00:16:38Well, that's where your girlfriend's from, isn't it?
00:16:42Fiancée.
00:16:44Fiancée?
00:16:45Goodness.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep up the stables.
00:16:53Actually, she's a portsmann.
00:16:55Dear, so no money.
00:16:56Some money.
00:16:57But horse mad.
00:16:59Well, she'd have to be.
00:17:03You'd approve, I think.
00:17:06Well, can I meet her?
00:17:07If you promise you won't scare her.
00:17:09Why would I scare her?
00:17:10You're the queen.
00:17:12Only some of the time.
00:17:13All the time.
00:17:14That makes you terrifying.
00:17:16And she's heard a lot about you.
00:17:19From whom?
00:17:20From me.
00:17:22Some of it nice, too.
00:17:29Here's a many people.
00:17:30I'm so sorry.
00:17:46I'm so sorry.
00:17:47I almost had a lot of time, I'm so sorry.
00:17:47I'm so sorry.
00:17:48There's no way.
00:17:48I'm so sorry.
00:17:48There you go.
00:18:01Oh, the one you let get away.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07He was carried a torch for you.
00:18:09What was she?
00:18:11That's nonsense.
00:18:13He told me himself.
00:18:15One night while in his cups.
00:18:18That doesn't count.
00:18:21When a man's had a drink, that's when the truth comes out.
00:18:24No, that's when the nonsense comes out.
00:18:26Besides, you have interests in common.
00:18:29Fourses aren't an interest for you, they're a passion.
00:18:32A passion your husband doesn't share.
00:18:34He has other passions.
00:18:37So I hear.
00:19:12The foreign secretary is here, sir.
00:19:14Shall I show him in?
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Not here.
00:19:32Sorry to keep you waking.
00:19:35As opposite as ever.
00:19:38I didn't mean it like that.
00:19:44There's ugliness in the air, Anthony.
00:19:48I have nothing of beauty to say.
00:19:50Then say what you must.
00:19:52Deposit your ugliness and go.
00:19:55I have more important things to do.
00:20:01Very well.
00:20:07At some point,
00:20:09every leader must ask himself whether by staying in office
00:20:14he is giving to the country
00:20:16or taking from it.
00:20:19Helping
00:20:19or harming.
00:20:23And I would suggest that for some time now
00:20:27you have been
00:20:29taking
00:20:30and harming.
00:20:31And therefore I come to you
00:20:33in the name of the party
00:20:34and of the country
00:20:36for the very last time, Winston
00:20:40to bid you to stand down.
00:20:42I will in good time.
00:20:43At the right time.
00:20:45The right time was nine years ago
00:20:48when you lost us the election.
00:20:49And I have since
00:20:51avenged that defeat
00:20:52by winning us the last election.
00:20:53I won us that, Winston!
00:20:55I won that!
00:21:01People voted conservative
00:21:03in the clear expectation
00:21:05that you would give way to me.
00:21:07That is such rubbish!
00:21:09They voted conservative
00:21:10because they couldn't stomach socialism!
00:21:13Inflation is out of control.
00:21:15And with every misjudgment,
00:21:18with every miscalculation,
00:21:21with every utterance you make,
00:21:23that appetite to return to the left is growing.
00:21:26Be careful, Antony.
00:21:27Too much excitement is not good
00:21:29for one so soon after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who,
00:21:33only two months ago,
00:21:34was effectively dead.
00:21:35Which makes two of us.
00:21:37I have recovered.
00:21:38That's not what I hear.
00:21:40I hear you're a shadow
00:21:42of your former self
00:21:44that when you walk
00:21:45the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:48I have something
00:21:49that you will never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill of health.
00:21:55A stallion said the same.
00:21:57He died robbering on the floor!
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Antony.
00:22:05Antony was just leaving.
00:22:08Hello, Timmy.
00:22:11Yes, I was, uh...
00:22:15Just leaving.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:19Morning.
00:22:21Morning.
00:22:22Sir, this is my wife, Kathleen.
00:22:24She assists me sometime.
00:22:26I hope you don't mind.
00:22:27See you later.
00:22:28Don't be me.
00:22:29Just leaving.
00:22:53I hope you saved him.
00:22:55I don't know.
00:22:56Don't you need me to expand?
00:22:57I don't know.
00:22:59Over here.
00:23:07What's that you're using?
00:23:09Pencil.
00:23:10But which kind?
00:23:144B or 6B or something.
00:23:16Not sure.
00:23:18It's a 6B.
00:23:21And on what paper?
00:23:23Drawing paper.
00:23:24I gave a heavyweight cotton.
00:23:25A cold-pressed, decal-edged,
00:23:28sized with gelatine.
00:23:36How many paintings has your husband
00:23:38complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:413 or 4.
00:23:44Would you care to guess
00:23:45how many I average?
00:23:4710?
00:23:5015?
00:23:5160!
00:23:53Of course.
00:23:54I'm just a hobbyist.
00:23:56An enthusiast.
00:23:58Not a major artist like your husband.
00:24:03Taking his time.
00:24:05Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Over here.
00:24:12Mm-hmm.
00:24:15Mm-hmm.
00:24:19Mm-hmm.
00:24:19Mm-hmm.
00:24:20Mm-hmm.
00:24:21Mm-hmm.
00:24:21Mm-hmm.
00:24:38I did a little reading about you, Mr Sutherland, after our last session.
00:24:44Did you?
00:24:44Yeah, quite interesting.
00:24:46From what I read, this is all very new to you, this portraiture.
00:24:51I don't think anyone starts out wanting to be a portraitist.
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55But in your search for your metier,
00:24:57you've tried a bit of everything.
00:24:59That's true.
00:25:02I came to painting quite late.
00:25:04But now that you've found it,
00:25:05you'll never leave it, yes?
00:25:06Mm-hmm.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08I quite understand.
00:25:10Mm-hmm.
00:25:17Mm-hmm.
00:25:20Mm-hmm.
00:25:22Mm-hmm.
00:25:24Mm-hmm.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:28mrs. Sutherland it has truth I might be allowed a peek no why not I could give you advice after
00:25:43all I know this face better than you do if you've made the neck too thick of the the arms
00:25:48too long
00:25:49I can tell you I find in general people have very little understanding of who they are one has to
00:25:55turn a blind eye to so much of oneself in order to get through life and you see it as
00:25:59your
00:25:59responsibility to bring all that out into the open certainly the good as well as the bad just
00:26:04concentrate on the good and all will be well you're not just painting me you know you're painting
00:26:10the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and everything that
00:26:15great office represents democracy freedom the highest ideals of government and leadership
00:26:21just remember that
00:26:34yes
00:26:35thank you
00:26:42what a palaver
00:26:44what is getting through to you I picked up the phone to you just after nine this morning it's now
00:26:50gone midday no don't exaggerate but yes I know it is infuriating you asked me to come to some
00:26:57figures for you with regard to Oriole although I'm numerically dyslexic runs in the family I'm afraid
00:27:03like the high forehead I have done the sums see if this helps you with your decision in the course
00:27:08of
00:27:09his lifetime as a racehorse Oriole has made you just over 40,000 pounds
00:27:13goodness
00:27:15but if you were to put him out to stud he could make you far more he's a recognized champion
00:27:19with a top-notch
00:27:20pedigree you could stand him at Wolferton's stud for top dollar
00:27:27well that's the decision then good and in the meantime I'll ask if I can get you a
00:27:34direct line to you yes to me why or is there anyone else you wanted to speak to here
00:27:47what is it top dollar I need numbers 400 a pot a shot sorry I'm trying to find a less
00:27:57onomatopoeic expressive what is ultimately I know what it is a shag a cover a cover yes that's the
00:28:04correct um a horse hump yes so what might you earn then over the course of the year well in
00:28:16one
00:28:16year alone Oriole might cover 40 mares making about 16,000 pounds good for him in the course of his
00:28:25lifetime at the stud he might say 500 600 foals making me over 200,000 pounds creating an entire
00:28:33generation of offspring yes father to all the fells in our stables and any other stable that could
00:28:39afford him yes I see so in time every horse out there could somehow be related to Oriole yes I
00:28:51suppose
00:28:51so like old man Carnarvon who your friend Porchy's father Porchy no
00:29:02like I said his father yes they're both called Porchy wasn't that the rumor what rumor well that he'd
00:29:11had so many affairs an entire generation of British aristocrats was related to him an illegitimate
00:29:18Porchy in every great house in the land high foreheads everywhere
00:29:25a numerical dyslexia what nothing what nothing
00:29:39Michael dear boy
00:29:45good night good night
00:29:49let me have a look here
00:29:52marvellous shall we come on you look beautiful
00:29:55all right
00:30:07all right
00:30:08all right
00:30:09all right
00:31:46Morning.
00:31:47Morning.
00:32:00Your wife this time?
00:32:03You know, I asked her not to come.
00:32:11Since this is to be our final session,
00:32:15I wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21In silence, preferably.
00:32:23Yes, yes.
00:32:25I'll be a good boy.
00:32:33I quite understand the need for concentration.
00:32:37Painting the picture is like fighting a battle, a bloody battle.
00:32:43In the gladiatorial fight to the death, the artist either wins or loses.
00:32:51Are you winning?
00:32:53I hope so.
00:32:56Do you think I'll like it?
00:32:58I think that's possibly too much to ask for.
00:33:02But I do take comfort from the fact that your own work is so honest and revealing.
00:33:08Oh.
00:33:10Thank you for the compliment.
00:33:16Are there any works that you're referring to in particular?
00:33:21I was thinking especially of the goldfish pond here at Chartma.
00:33:27The pond?
00:33:28Why the pond?
00:33:29It's just a pond.
00:33:31It's very much more than that, as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again,
00:33:36more than 20 times.
00:33:37Well, yes, because it's such a technical challenge.
00:33:40It eludes me.
00:33:43Well, perhaps you elude yourself, sir.
00:33:45That's why it's more revealing than a self-portrait.
00:33:48Oh, that's nonsense.
00:33:50It's the water.
00:33:53The play of light.
00:33:55The trickery.
00:33:56The fish down below.
00:33:59I think all our work is unintentionally revealing, and I found it especially so with your pond.
00:34:04Beneath the tranquility and the elegance and the light playing on the surface, I saw honesty and pain.
00:34:10Terrible pain.
00:34:12The framing itself indicated to me that you wanted us to see something beneath all the muted colors deep down
00:34:22in the water.
00:34:25Terrible despair.
00:34:27Hiding like a leviathan, like a sea monster.
00:34:31You saw all that?
00:34:34Yes, I did.
00:34:37Perhaps that says more about you than me.
00:34:39Mm-hmm.
00:34:42Perhaps.
00:34:46May I ask you a question, Mr. Sutherland?
00:34:49Hmm.
00:34:50It's about one of your paintings.
00:34:53The one you call pastoral.
00:34:55With all that gnarled and twisted wood, those great ugly dabs of black, I found something malevolent in it.
00:35:10Where did that come from?
00:35:13Well, it's very perceptive.
00:35:15That was, uh, it was a very dark time.
00:35:18My, uh, my son, John, passed away.
00:35:24Eight to two months.
00:35:30Oh, my.
00:35:32I am sorry.
00:35:39Yes, thank you.
00:35:58You have five, yes?
00:36:00Four.
00:36:04Marigold was the fifth.
00:36:07She left us at age two years, nine months.
00:36:12Septicemia.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:14I had no idea.
00:36:18We settled on the name Marigold on account of her wonderful golden curls, the most extraordinary color.
00:36:32Regretfully, though perhaps mercifully, I was not present when she died.
00:36:39When I came home, Clemmie roared like a wounded animal.
00:36:54We bought chart, well, a year after Marigold died.
00:37:03That was when I put in the pond.
00:37:39Oh, thank you.
00:37:55Oh, thank you.
00:37:59It's a pleasure.
00:38:07I look forward to seeing it.
00:38:27Let me, let me, let me, let me free, please.
00:38:36Please, forget the death of death.
00:38:44Oh, death of death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:51Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given this is Oriel's debut, we want to leave nothing to chance, I've called up three different
00:39:05mayors.
00:39:06Very rarely does a forced tryst make a fruitful tryst.
00:39:10One wants the perfect foe, one needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect peril.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:16Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17Oh, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:19Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22Lovely temperament.
00:39:24My only concern would be, is she perhaps a little too...
00:39:28Special.
00:39:29I worry that if we were pleased through to it, nothing would ever happen.
00:39:33Which is why I've also called up Turkish blood.
00:39:36As you can see, an altogether different proposition.
00:39:39Indeed.
00:39:40Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:43I really would be breeding the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a barge.
00:39:47Through memory, your Oriel is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:52I hate him to be intimidated or come unstuck when faced a fiery warrior like this.
00:39:56That's very considerate of your portrait.
00:39:58Which is why I have a good feeling about our third candidate.
00:40:01Feast your eyes on Temple Bar.
00:40:03A hot thoroughbred with the winning streak herself.
00:40:06There's a little on the young side, perhaps.
00:40:09Just three.
00:40:10We don't mind that, do we?
00:40:17Immediate engagement.
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:19I must say, I do like this one.
00:40:21Mm.
00:40:23Would appear the feeling is mutual.
00:40:24What?
00:40:26I would do, Al.
00:40:29Oh, no.
00:40:29Telegrams have been pouring into Dining Street today to wish Sir Winston Churchill a happy 80th birthday,
00:40:36on this, the 30th of November.
00:40:39They come from all parts of the globe.
00:40:42Oh, oh.
00:40:43Happy birthday, darling old pug.
00:41:12Come on, come on.
00:41:17Come on, come on.
00:41:51Come on, come on.
00:41:53Bruce it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Bob.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history, was the scene of the birthday presentations to Sir
00:42:02Winston.
00:42:02Thank you, Bob.
00:42:55I am deeply honored to be here today.
00:43:01No politician has ever received such an honor before, and I am deeply grateful.
00:43:10I am aware, however, that after having served my country for 54 of my 80 years, resignation is a word
00:43:28that hangs in the air.
00:43:32And indeed, this is the perfect occasion for it.
00:43:36The stage is set, and the audience is assembled all ready for a grand valediction.
00:43:46There's only one problem.
00:43:48The lead actor has forgotten his life.
00:43:53And instead of standing down, he is taking an encore.
00:43:59My dear, he's playing with them all.
00:44:03When your political colleagues are kind enough to present you with a portrait by an ambitious modernist,
00:44:14one has to ask oneself, is it a gift or is it a curse?
00:44:27Mr. Sutherland, the artist and I spoke a great deal during my sittings.
00:44:35I reminded him of the stakes involved, that his portrait was not just of me, but of the office I
00:44:46represent, indeed, of our entire system of government.
00:44:50So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:31A fine patriotic piece of modern art!
00:46:10Why are you here?
00:46:12I understand you've rejected the painting.
00:46:15I have.
00:46:16On what grounds?
00:46:17That is not a painting.
00:46:19It's a humiliation.
00:46:22How shall I paint him today?
00:46:25Ah!
00:46:26Sitting on a chair, producing a stool.
00:46:30A broken, sagging, pitiful creature.
00:46:34Squeezing and squeezing.
00:46:36That's not how it's being seen.
00:46:37That is how it is.
00:46:39And I will not accept it.
00:46:41I don't think it's wise to reject it.
00:46:43It was commissioned by the members of the Joint Houses of Parliament as a sign of respect.
00:46:47But then they should have commissioned an artist who is respectful instead of a Judas wielding his murderous brush.
00:46:55Look at it!
00:46:56It is a betrayal of friendship and an unpatriotic, treacherous, cowardly assault by the individualistic left.
00:47:06As regards to the friendship?
00:47:07Clearly, there is none.
00:47:11I accepted this commission because I admired you, and I came through the experience of admiring you even more.
00:47:16You make monsters of everyone you admire?
00:47:20It's not vindictive.
00:47:22No.
00:47:22It's art.
00:47:23It's not personal.
00:47:24Well, you are a lost soul.
00:47:29A narcissist without direction or certainty.
00:47:32Please, sir.
00:47:34Don't overreact.
00:47:35Give it time.
00:47:36I showed the sketches to your wife throughout the process.
00:47:39She remarked on how accurate they were.
00:47:40That is the whole point.
00:47:42It is not a reasonably truthful image of me.
00:47:46It is, sir.
00:47:47It is not.
00:47:47It is cruel.
00:47:49Age is cruel.
00:47:57If you see decay, it's because there's decay.
00:47:59If you see frailty, it's because there's frailty.
00:48:03I can't be blamed for what is.
00:48:07And I refuse to hide and disguise what I see.
00:48:14If you're engaged in a fight with something, then it's not with me.
00:48:24It's with your own blindness.
00:48:37I think you should go.
00:48:50Look at me.
00:49:18Look at me.
00:49:22he's right what i am that man in the painting
00:49:32wretched and decaying and i cannot go on i've said that before
00:49:43and this time i mean it i'm tired
00:49:49you've had enough i have my love
00:49:59this time i really have
00:50:03good
00:50:47of course i knew it was coming
00:50:50if i'm being frank there were
00:50:53one or two moments when i might have even hoped for it too
00:50:56prayed no doubt

00:51:23well that will make him happy
00:51:26for a day or two
00:51:29he might even stop cursing me
00:51:31then he will be overwhelmed by a job
00:51:34in which no man can ever succeed
00:51:36and curse me again for leaving it to him
00:51:41it might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts
00:51:44no ma'am

00:55:41Is that it?
00:55:442,000 guineas for that.
00:55:46As long as he's done what he needs to do, and it bears fruit, I don't mind.
00:55:50Well done, Porchy.
00:55:54Yes, indeed.
00:55:56Well done, Porchy.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Porchy, so he can call straight in.
00:56:04I know only because I tried to get one for Mike and was refused.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09On account of him not being a family member.
00:56:12Porchy is like family.
00:56:13Is he?
00:56:15Yes. Part of the furniture.
00:56:19Well, as long as you don't sit on him any time soon.
00:56:26There he is. There he is.
00:56:29There he is.
00:56:30There he is.
00:56:30Take the fruit out.
00:56:31No.
00:56:34Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:39You all right?
00:56:42I've got some ice cream in my room, he's sitting here.
00:56:43No!
00:56:45No, no, no.
00:56:46No!
00:56:48No!
00:56:50No!
00:56:51No!
00:57:08Okay, fine.
00:57:09That's right.
00:57:10Yes, ma'am.
00:57:28I have nothing to hide from you.
00:57:31Nothing.
00:57:34Portia is a friend.
00:57:39And yes, there are those who would have preferred me to marry him.
00:57:43Indeed, marriage with him might have been easier.
00:57:48Might have even worked better than ours.
00:57:53But to everyone's regret and frustration,
00:57:57the only person I have ever loved is you.
00:58:03And can you honestly look me in the eye and say the same?
00:58:16Can you?
00:58:18Well done.
00:58:19May you be the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king
00:58:22of the king of the king of the king of the king?
00:58:26You.
00:58:32Pray silence for her majesty, the queen.
00:58:44my lords ladies and gentlemen dear winston and lady churchill
00:58:56my confidence in sir anthony is complete and i know he will lead the country on to great
00:59:04achievements but it would be useless to pretend that either he or any of those successes who
00:59:12may one day follow him in office will ever for me be able to hold the place of my first
00:59:19prime minister
00:59:21to whom my husband and i owe so much and for whose wise guidance during the early years of my
00:59:29reign
00:59:30i shall always be so profoundly grateful
00:59:40i will remember you always your magnanimity your courage at all times
00:59:55and for your unfailing humor founded in your unrivaled mastery of the english language
01:00:05i take comfort from the fact that in losing my constitutional advisor
01:00:13i gain a wise counselor
01:00:19to whom i shall look for help and support in the days which lie ahead
01:00:33may there be many
01:00:34a very often
01:00:34a
01:00:37a
