Beau Brummell
(1954)

Stars: Stewart Granger, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Ustinov | Director: Curtis Bernhardt
Captain Beau Brummell is characteristically impertinent towards the Prince of Wales and loses his commission as a result.
Brummell takes to heavy criticism of the Prince and his lifestyle; the Prince also comes under fire from his own Prime Minister.
However, wise advice from Brummell intrigues the Prince and a complex, unusual friendship forms between the Regency dandy and the future king.
Stodgy historical romance with entertaining patches; the main story is too graceful and conventional to be believed. (Halliwellโs)
