Gregor Jordan's film takes place in Germany during the last days of
the Cold War. Stuck on duty as Batallion Clerk at a US Army base in
West Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ray Elwood
(Joaquin Phoenix) maintains a lucrative sideline in blackmarket
trade under the nose of his superiors - and is even sleeping with
the wife of his boss, Colonel Berman (Ed Harris). Things begin to
change, however, when a new sergeant (Scott Glenn) arrives and
tries to clean up the base. Elwood thinks he can handle anything,
even the sergeant's daughter (Anna Paquin), but he doesn't realise
who he is up against.
The first three series, plus the Christmas special, of the
award-winning ITV costume drama following the lives and loves of
those above and below stairs in an English stately home. In the
first series, set before the outbreak of World War One, the
Grantham family, long-time custodians of Downton Abbey, face a
crisis when the heir to the estate dies on the Titanic. With his
three daughters unable to inherit by law, Robert Crawley (Hugh
Bonneville), the current Earl of Grantham, must try and marry his
eldest daughter off in order to obtain an heir. Meanwhile, the
family's determination to cling to class and rank is mirrored in a
number of growing rivalries between the servants which threaten to
undermine the smooth running of the house. In the second series,
after the outbreak of WWI, Matthew (Dan Stevens) and Thomas (Rob
James-Collier) are off fighting at the Somme, while both Lord
Grantham and William (Thomas Howes) feel frustrated at being barred
from taking part in the war. Meanwhile, Lady Sybil (Jessica
Brown-Findlay) defies her aristocratic position and enlists in the
Royal Army Nursing Corps and Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) puts on a
brave face when Matthew arrives home on leave with his future wife,
Lavinia Swire (Zoe Boyle), in tow. In the third series, with the
war finally over, the 1920s heralds the promise of a new age for
those at Downton Abbey. But while the family prepare for the
wedding of Lady Mary and Matthew, Lord Grantham learns that the
future of Downton is in grave jeopardy after the collapse of
investments made with his wife Cora (Elizabeth McGovern)'s fortune.
With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a
grand entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson
(Shirley MacLaine), threatens to ruffle a few of the Dowager
(Maggie Smith)'s feathers.
'Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be
always in her heart.' A tale of sin, punishment and atonement, The
Scarlet Letter exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan
New England community when faced with the illegitimate child of a
young mother. Regarded as the first real heroine of American
fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that resonates
with the reader when her harsh sentence is cast. It is in her
refusal to reveal the identity of the father in the face of her
accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and berates the
weakness of Society for attacking the innocent.
