Fine movie with outstanding performances.

Thanks for the upload, I have wanted to see this film for many years.

After watching this movie, I fail to see what the scandal was about to begin with.

It is unlikely that Profumo or even the Soviet spy would dare open up to a 19 year old good time girl about intricate political dealings that would compromise their countries' security.

The London of 1963.......so, different to now.

Excellent film, thank you very much for the upload. Social psychology has come to describe more formally the age-old disorder called "the perversity of privilege", meaning that those in power feel, believe and act as if they are above the rule of law. The nature and scope of this scandal definitely appears to be a chilling case study. Being both an artist and academic, I have had many memorable experiences, but there were lines I somehow intuitively knew must never be crossed. Thanks again.

@robion1957 I agree that the script could be better, but generally the acting is OK.

More importantly, the film depicts part of British life and history from a different era (when we still had a Minister of War!)

The film is also difficult to find on line (but still available from Amazon).

I hope others find it of interest?
