Description

Based on a true story, David Mamet's brilliant adaptation of THE WINSLOW BOY is a rich and complex telling of the British classic, brought to life by a tremendous ensemble of talent, including Sir Nigel Hawthorne and Jeremy Northam. Set at the turn of the century, the story follows the lives of the Winslow Family and their fight to prove the innocence of their youngest son, a 13 year old naval cadet who has been expelled from the Academy for stealing a five-shilling postal note. When Sir Robert Morton, a well-respected lawyer, agrees to represent the boy, the case becomes a national spectacle and threatens to destroy the family's bond. But even as the legal circus engulfs the Winslow's lives, self discovery and blossoming romance emerge in this period masterpiece filled with hope, wit and humanity.
