Scandal

Scandal is a 1989 fictionalized version of England's 1963 Profumo Affair, the cold-war era sex scandal that brought down the ruling Conservative government. Scandal delves into the intriguing story of Stephen Ward (John Hurt), a depraved society hanger-on, and Christine Keeler (Joanne Whalley), a young dancer. Stephen takes in the beautiful teen-aged Christine and molds her into a high-class society prostitute. Stephen introduces Christine and her friend, Mandy (Bridget Fonda), to his world of depraved debauchery, involving them in orgies with London's upper crust. The girls capture the attention of Britain's political elite, attracting several high-ranking officials. Christine enters into a relationship with Secretary of War John Profumo (Ian McKellan) while simultaneously being involved with Eugene Ivanov (Jeroen Krabbe), a Soviet Navy attach''. When news of the married Profumo's affair breaks, the scandal grows as Christine's other affairs come to light. The ruling Conservative party is disgraced and desperate to turn the media tides. Who will they offer up as a scapegoat? MORE [EDIT]
