*Special Stars- Ian McDiarmind, Rainer Sellien, Mark Lewis Jones, Bill Paterson, Nicholas Farrell, Urs Remond, Nicholas Asbury.
*Theme- Diplomacy should be a serious business.
*Trivia/location/goofs- British, BBC, docu-drama.
*Emotion- A highly complex and wordy exploration of the many countries diplomatic actions to avert war and protect their world status. The harshest and highly judged characters in this treatment is The Czar, Nicholas and German General, Von Molke. In the end, it's the killing of an Archduke by a 'wild-card' socialist bitter peasant that gets everyone uncontrollably involved. In this film they got the actors from the culture/countries they are cast, so there's a real historic good language accents on camera. The other interesting fact in the plot was the interesting interplay of a huge dysfunctional family from Queen Victoria's time. The many combative royal houses were an interesting family story angle. This is a thoughtful film well worth being seen.
