Cole also made Calendar Girls. Written by William Ivory (Burton & Taylor).
Sally Hawkins is fabulous (love the way her first public speeches are shakily voiced), so is Rosamund Pike, and so is Miranda Richardson as Barbara Castle.
Rest of cast not bad either - Daniel Mays, Bob Hoskins, Geraldine James, Andrea Riseborough, Jaime Winston, Richard Schiff, Rupert Graves (who I feel sorry for - his roles are almost always unsympathetic), Kenneth Cranham (trade unionist) and Roger Lloyd Pack (did wonder whether the latter's sub-plot was strictly necessary to the proceedings). Minor carp - they should have shown the archive footage in 4x3 rather than crop it so severely.
Ph. John de Borman, editor Michael Parker (Run Fat Boy Run, Wild Target, Calendar Girls, East is East).
