Guy Fawkes II

Nearby half a century before the Queen co-starred with Daniel Craig she supported Rod Steiger in this ambitious A. I. P. Production that rather recklessly opened a can of worms by combining The Troubles with the Royal Family.

Whatever. It works perfectly well experienced simply as a gripping thriller building up to a climax as dramatic as that of 'The Day of the Jackal' with a showy part for Steiger in the tortured title role and is well acted by a good cast - most of them adopting Irish brogues - of whom one, Richard Johnson, actually supplied the original story.
