Blunt was a hero, and he should be honored by the UK for his contributions to the victory of the allies in the Second World War. What he did to help the USSR saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Brit, Commonwealth and US soldier. By they time we landed at Normandy, the Soviet Union had virtually brought German to her knees. Imagine the fight they could have put up had it not been for the bleedings of 1941-44 on the Eastern Front.

Could anyone tell me where I might find a DVD or copy of 'A Question of Attribution'? Please?

I have no illwill towards Blunt or other members of the Cambridge Five but isn't treason a crime in UK law? Why didn't Blunt or Craincross ever served any sentence? Did they cut some sort of deal with goverment? If all they would loose was their good name and some titles, why did the others defected to USSR?

Blunt did nothing to help the USSR against Germany, whatever mc0558 might think. His function was to aid the USSR to infiltrate British and American intelligence agencies after WW2. He did this with some success and sent many US and British agents to their deaths, while quaffing fine wines in the best London clubs and at the high tables of Oxford colleges.

Does anyone know where the entire film can be seen?

[chanctonbury63]

I havent seen the movie. This is very good. Is the Queen having a dig at Blunt, because he appears more and more ill at ease as the scene goes on? Or is she oblivious to the fact that Blunt is not all he might seem, and Blunt over reacting?

Avery good scene...one of the better ones in british film history

[sheppertoon]

You now get this on the DVD 'Alan Bennett at the BBC' published by the BBC

Like QE2 is so clever to imply treason metaphorically ..........

LoL! Since your brain has gone for a walk in the park, I'll make clear the POINT here-the discourse here was about Stalin vis a vis the Cambridge 5. And your desperate attempt to divert the discussion &compare Churchill to the worst genocidal mass murderer is laughable at best! I don't loathe Stalin, I just see him for what he is-a psychopathic megalomaniac who nearly took down his nation. The man who wiped out millions of his soldiers & intelligence operatives on a mere whims is uncomparable!

P.S. Interestingly, nobody hated Gandhi more than Churchill. Which tells you a great deal about Churchill, none of it good. As an Australian, a people Churchill loathed but who kept winning the battles he threw us into (when we planned them), I despise Churchill for his betrayal of us at Singapore, and the attempted diversion of our own troops away from the defence of our country when the Japanese had attacked us. Yet...Churchill was useful in 1940, the only important year of his life
