  • The Great Rolling Stones Redlands Bust
    THE GREAT ROLLING STONES REDLANDS BUST By David Bartley ‘Naked Girl at Stone’s Party’ On Sunday the 12th of February 1967 one of the mothers of all battles of that turbulent and sadly maligned decade was set in motion. In one corner the emerging hippy movement; in the other, the forces of conventional middle-class morality. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (then styled ‘Richard’) of the Rolling Stones were arrested for drug offences. Three months later, Jagger and Richards were tried and sentenced to three months’ and a year’s imprisonment respectively. Mick for possession of amphetamines (sold legally as travel sickness pills in Italy, where they were purchased), Keith for allowing cannabis to be smoked on his premises – Redlands, in West Sussex. They were Quickly released on appeal, but these absurdly vindictive and disproportionate sentences caused an uproar. The new Establishment of the ‘counter-culture’ – including The Beatles and The Who - rallied behind the two Stones and then, remarkably, so did The Establishment. The editor of the Times, William Rees-Mogg, risked a contempt of court charge by publishing an editorial decrying the evident unfairness of the sentences. Common sense ultimately prevailed: matters were Quietly arranged so that the boys quickly won their appeal. The plot to crush the longhairs, with their drugs and their loose sexual attitudes had backfired – spectacularly. Far from penitent pariahs, Mick and Keith were now Promethean heroes, Oscar Wildes for their times. So just how did the NCO class of the old Establishment – the News of The World, the minor judiciary, the police - make such a mess of what was meant to be an exemplary spanking for the Stones and their louche admirers? Here is the countdown to calamity.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • The Young Victoria Production Notes
    THE YOUNG VICTORIA PRODUCTION NOTES GK Films Presents THE YOUNG VICTORIA Emily Blunt Rupert Friend Paul Bettany Miranda Richardson Jim Broadbent Thomas Kretschmann Mark Strong Jesper Christensen Harriet Walter Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée Screenplay By Julian Fellowes Produced by Graham King Martin Scorsese Tim Headington Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York 2 SHORT SYNOPSIS The Young Victoria chronicles Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne, focusing on the early turbulent years of her reign and her legendary romance and marriage to Prince Albert. SYNOPSIS 1837. VICTORIA (17) (Emily Blunt) is the object of a royal power struggle. Her uncle, KING WILLIAM (Jim Broadbent), is dying and Victoria is in line for the throne. Everyone is vying to win her favor. However Victoria is kept from the court by her overbearing mother, THE DUCHESS OF KENT (Miranda Richardson), and her ambitious advisor, CONROY (Mark Strong). Victoria hates them both. Her only friend is her doting governess, LEHZEN (Jeanette Hain), who is seemingly as untrustworthy as the rest. Victoria’s handsome cousin, ALBERT (Rupert Friend) is invited to visit by her mother. He's also the nephew of her Uncle, KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM (Thomas Kretschmann). It's obvious that Albert has been coached to win her hand. At first she's annoyed as she has no intention of being married. She never wants to be controlled again. However Albert is also tired of being manipulated by his relatives. Victoria and Albert talk openly and sincerely and become friends. When he returns home she grants him permission to write to her.
