The Prince
I knew the name Darius Guppy rang a bell. It is intrinsically linked to ex British Prime Minister Boris (The type of guy you can have a drink with in a pub. Especially during Covid lockdown) Johnson.
Guppy was a wide boy who staged a fake £1.8 million jewellery heist in New York. Guppy ended up in jail, thought largely to the endeavours of an investigative journalist.
Stuart Collier was a News of the World reporter who turned up the heat on Guppy. However Guppy made strenuous efforts to be well connected.
Guppy got Collier's address so he could send some heavy boys to beat Collier up. The man who supplied the address was Boris Johnson, then a Daily Telegraph journalist.
Johnson cannot even deny this as Guppy taped the conversation in 1990. Who said the USA has a monopoly is electing unsuitable leaders!
Of course all this is missing in this 1993 drama. James Purefoy does his best as Guppy. He just comes across as an annoying, dull social climber who had infiltrated the rich boy's club.
