An Anthony Hopkins Double Feature…
Guilty Conscience High-powered criminal attorney Arthur Jameson has a secret.When he isn't receiving awards or speaking at banquets he plots murder.His wife's, that is.The act he has in mind must be perfect in every detail, so he creates various scenarios, allowing an imaginary prosecutor to poke holes in each plan.Finally he devises the foolproof crime, one which will provide him with the perfect alibi in the person of his mistress.But the not-so-late Mrs. Jameson may have other ideas.
Anthony Hopkins deftly handles two roles in this delicious black comedy which will leave you guessing until the last gasp.
Blunt the Fourth Man In 1979, Britain roiled with scandal when the public learned that the esteemed Surveyor of the Queen's Art Collection,Sir Anthony Blunt, had confessed to treason in 1964 and cut an immunity deal with the government, sparing himself prison and indignity.Blunt - played icily by Ian Richardson in this gripping intrigue - came to be known as the Fourth Man, the mastermind who recruited British Intelligence agents Guy Burgess, Donald McClean and Kim Philby for his espionage ring which traded secrets to the Soviets.In 1951, things began to unravel and a desperate Blunt and his flamboyant homosexual lover Burgess (Anthony Hopkins) engineered the defection of cohort McClean to Russia.
