assaulting those lemons

for the past hourwill it be over soon?

00:01:59The exercise will be completed

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

the parade is present and ready

for Your Royal Highness'inspection.

00:03:38Who is this gentleman?

00:03:39Captain George Brummell, sir.

00:03:40Oh, yes. Splendid go

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

The epaulets rather get in the way.

You don't approve of them?

Narrower epauletswould be more convenient.

00:03:55Better style too, sir.

00:03:57Have you any other criticism

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

- Fussy

Simplicity should be the keynoteof a soldier.

00:04:06Don't you think so, sir?

00:04:08Are you aware who designed

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

Get off parade!

Beau.

I want a word with you.

Come in here.

- Are you out of your mind- He asked my opinion.

00:04:49You're under arrest

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

the way our fat friend moves.

His Royal Highness' sizeis a very touchy subject, Beau.

00:04:59We're required to wear

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

a bit of the blubber.

The Prince of Walesdoesn't have to be reasonable.

00:05:10Precisely what's wrong

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

the way they are.

Yesyou'll be a full Colonel.

00:05:22Is that all you want

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

All heaven and earth.

A perfect grapeDizzy success and dizzy failure.

00:05:33And the zest of not knowing

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

smashing achievement.

Or a perfectlysmashing smash up.

00:05:41I'd rather have

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

and her three children.

Abscond withthe family bank account.

00:05:53- Mortimer?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

into town for a bit.

There's a lady I know hasa remarkable talent

00:06:01for reducing the size

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

the regimental dinner.

I was ordered to keep an eyeon you and I intend to do it.

00:06:14They're saying

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

he pulled mine.

Oha court-martial, sir.

00:06:24Oh, I hope not too. After all

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

pint of champagne

Royal turtle soup. Nosecond thoughts, nothing royal.

00:06:40Onion soup and very dry sherry.

00:07:28Lord Edwin is

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

of not marrying Edwin

has never reallyentered my head.

00:07:42Don't let it, my dear.

00:07:43Marriage is the only future

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

has a marked musical talent.

Wellinto it, didn't I?

00:08:18- Mmm, Edwin.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

would be done

if I were to giveCaptain Brummell a spanking

00:08:28and send him up

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

the sort that crawls readily.

He's proud and stiffas sealing wax.

00:08:38In that case, we shall apply

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

104

105

- Yes

At the age of seven

I got my brotherby the hair, Duke of York, you know

00:08:54and it took four footmen

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

111

may I present Captain Brummell?

- Mrs. Fitzherbert.- Humble servant, Madam.

00:09:08And Lady Patricia Belham.

00:09:11The Captain and I

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

117

ropes of pearls

I'm beginning to understand

why the army isirresistible, Captain.

00:09:25Then, perhaps you'll

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

123

124

you've taken a liberty

with His Royal Highness' guest.

Edwinpaid me a very pretty compliment.

00:09:41Well, if it was a compliment,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

129

good soldier

They tell me moreover that youdon't take kindly to discipline,

00:09:54that you're a gambler,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

133

134

a non-conformist.

Tell megain by knocking society about?

00:10:08In my idea, sir,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

138

139

of revolution

In AmericaIt's in the air.

00:10:20You're about to get a breath

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

143

The fall in is at midnight

Ohwe won't detain you, Captain.

00:10:29You've been very gracious, sir.

00:10:31Oh, one moment, Captain.

00:10:33I'm disposed to overlook

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

149

your opinion of my uniform.

I haven't

But since Your Royal Highnesshas indicated a desire

00:10:45to forget the matter

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

155

Captain.

An apology is offeredto one you have affronted.

00:10:58Seems to me that

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

159

permission to withdraw?

I have some packingto do before fall in.

00:11:07You can ignore

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

163

anywhere

I won't have youin my regiment!

00:11:17Get out!

00:11:21I have the honor to wish

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

168

169

I'm deeply grateful

for your understandingand forbearance.

00:11:36And to you, sir, my respects.

00:12:00You could still go

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

175

176

throw away a promising career?

I assure you thatthe size of a button

00:12:17or the length of an epaulet

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

182

your commission.

I never acquired a tastefor boot licking.

00:12:33- But he's the Prince of Wales.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

186

you're far too well-bred

but you thought itand you're quite right.

00:12:44My grandfather was a valet.

00:12:46My father was secretary

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

191

be very careful of your dignity

others aren't.You wouldn't understand this

00:12:57because your dignity has always

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

196

197

because you feel inferior.

But does it really make youless inferior to be rude?

00:13:17I expect it does. A bit.

00:13:21I'm sorry, I thought perhaps

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

202

203

any less inferior?

You've no ideawhat it made me feel.

00:13:39It won't be permanent, Captain.

00:13:56Hey, you'd better trot.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

208

included in your discharge

I'm touchedVery touched.

00:14:14But it won't do.

00:14:15I've no money, no position,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

214

butlering for you?

You were a miserablebarge rat, weren't you?

00:14:28if I wasn't, sir.

00:14:30A blinking, stinking lump

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

219

A gentleman's gentleman.

Without you I'lla fallen star.

00:14:43Very poetic.

00:14:44Well, take just

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

225

In me own sphere that is

Wellback on all that would you, sir?

00:15:03No, I couldn't do that, could I?

00:15:06Thank you, sir.

00:15:07Tea at the usual hour

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

231

232

233

professional obligation

Your fatherwas one of the closest friends.

00:15:46A pity you squandered the

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

238

desirable marriage.

Mm-hmm. What's the other one?

Work. I spoketo a Mr. Cleagle at my bank.

00:16:05It's very decent of you, sir,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

243

that beggars can't be choosers.

Take a good look at this beggarMr. Thurlow.

00:16:18Thanks to my father's sacrifices

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

248

perfect character but there are

many in high places with muchfewer claims to perfection.

00:16:32You unfortunately

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

252

to accept obscurity.

I don't know what you proposeGeorge, but it may be some time

00:16:44before the world recognizes

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

256

Worlds of opportunity.

Where a man can go as faras his abilities will take him

00:16:55and no questions asked

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

260

261

262

Surely you will lend it to me.

Surely

You're a rash adventurerGeorge.

00:17:14I've given you good advice.

00:17:16If you won't take it,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

270

in proportion.

What're your viewson a wealthy wife, Mortimer?

00:17:37- Favorable, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

276

I have represented the people

of this borough in parliament.

Sidley.

Sir Ralph SidleyA great politician.

00:17:53His Royal Highness,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

282

283

that my views coincide

with those of so illustriousa gentleman.

00:18:06- The first gentleman of Europe.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

288

borough or the Prince of Wales?

I see no distinctionThe prince is a great liberal.

00:18:19He's certainly liberal

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

293

part of that symbol?

Apparentlya sporty gentleman, sir.

00:18:32Do you disapprove

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

297

although he's nota very active soldier.

00:18:45What I really object to

00:18:48is the way the prince

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

303

our colonies desert us

and our future kingdoes nothing.

00:19:10The candidate

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

307

308

of your observations

for the London Chronicle.

Certainly. My nameis George Bryan Brummell.

00:19:25And it is my opinion that if the

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

313

to reiterate it

there is to be a meeting tomorrownight in Green Grocer's Hall.

00:19:36Excuse me, sir, but I think you have

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

317

has our prince offered?

A foolishextravagant, outlandish one.

00:19:52- Aye, them's true words.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

321

copies him slavishly.

Even the army is requiredto powder,

00:20:06250,000 soldiers each using

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

325

three million loaves of bread.

Enough to keep 50in food for a year.

00:20:29No, no, Mr. Pitt. Upon my honor,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

330

to be mated like a prized bull.

I'm sorry Your Royal Highness

regards the matterwith such vileness.

00:20:44Oh, how would you wish me

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

335

Royal Highness cannot ignore.

Mr. Pittthese leeches are going to it

00:20:53like cannibals, it's sheer

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

339

And that will reduce the fat.

Ohjust so that my coat will fit.

00:21:04Get the little beasts off me.

00:21:05Going to Germany could be

00:21:06a pleasant experience,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

345

Confine yourself to that.

I amof the unfortunate circumstances

00:21:15which have formed

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

349

Mrs. Fitzherbert

Your friendship has become notorious.It be should be terminated.

00:21:25Mr. Pitt,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

353

of your royal father

OhHis Majesty's mind was capable

00:21:36of forming an opinion,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

357

358

and furnishing an heir.

It would do a great deal toanswer criticism.

00:21:49Listen to this, sir.

00:21:50"If the Prince of Wales is the

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

363

I threw him out of my regiment

and now he goes aboutslandering me at street corners.

00:22:01Have you summoned him, Edwin?

00:22:02Mr. Brummell will be here directly, sir.

00:22:04Mm, he's a bunder, sir and an

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

371

to increase your income.

If you were willingto arrange a marriage

00:22:19it would help us rally

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

375

my country demands of me?

I'm absolutely corneredlike a fox.

00:22:32I'll never hunt again.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

379

Send him in by all means.

Mr. Brummell.

Your Royal Highness.

Mr. Pittis Captain Brummell.

00:22:56Uh, Mr. Brummell now, sir.

00:22:58I understand, Mr. Brummell,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

387

388

389

joined the pack of dogs

that yap at my heels

I trust you find yourselfin congenial company.

00:23:22Your Royal Highness' interest

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

395

396

to restore your commission?

That remote possibilitynever occurred to me, sir.

00:23:40Oh, well, has it occurred to you that

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

401

constitutes sedition.

Damn itemploy a more direct approach.

00:23:55Thrash you here and now.

00:24:00I, I'm sure Your Royal Highness

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

406

from striking back.

It's a devilish pity that youdon't show as much consideration

00:24:15when my back is turned.

00:24:16As an Englishman, I would hesitate

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

411

Mr. Brummell.

You can do

I have to do exactlyas I'm told.

00:24:31You are the Prince of Wales, sir.

00:24:33The future sovereign.

00:24:35You should tell others

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

418

I do not respect

Leadership? But I'm a prisonera captive.

00:24:46I can't even love

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

422

of a woman I've never even met.

Yesyou very happy, Mr. Brummell.

00:24:58Your Royal Highness

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

426

427

the Newmarket races on Saturday

and I believe Your Royal Highnesshas horse a running.

00:25:09Mr. Brummell, a prince is not

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

431

an enchanting lady.

Damn ittrying to torment me?

00:25:20Yes.

00:25:24If I can arouse

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

436

437

- Yes.

If he had lived by yourdoctrine, he would still be

00:25:36an obscure leftenant

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

441

talk further.

Come with me.

A-a-h.Cold as an Eskimo's bottom.

00:25:55Cold as a penguin's

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

447

448

into the bargain.

You go about abusing metearing me to bits and yet today

00:26:10you've been most understanding.

00:26:12Your position is a very

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

453

of the day was mapped out for me.

Tutors like drill sergeants.

Bishops lecturing me on moralsand duties three times a day.

00:26:28My allowance, half a crown,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

459

that one day I shall be king.

That day may not be so veryfar off, Mr. Brummell.

00:26:43There is a persistent rumor that

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

463

controls the purse strings.

Mr. Pitt controls Parliament.It is intolerable, sir.

00:26:55Very degrading, sir.

00:26:57I can't appeal to His Majesty.

00:26:59No one's allowed to see him,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

469

470

that will do.

It would bemost natural, sir.

00:27:09A dutiful son's

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

474

to loosen the purse strings

rather than have sucha demand made public.

00:27:23Mr. Brummell, you fascinate me.

00:27:29When are you going

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

479

to go to Germany.

Noat Newmarket on Saturday.

00:27:45Give him the whip, Sam.

00:27:51What a perfectly magnificent

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

484

George. You brought me luck.

And I have won 400 poundson your horse, sir.

00:28:03He's a financial wizard.

00:28:04You know, he even found a way

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

489

Mr. Brummell.

Whyto go over to see Sam Chifney.

00:28:13Thank you very much,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

493

the gentlemen's conversation.

I'll sit here and sun myself.

- Oh- Yes, sir.

00:28:24- A very fine race, Your Highness.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

498

of one of your poems.

But paid much better I fear.

Ohthis is Lord Byron.

00:28:40Brummell, that name is familiar.

00:28:42Oh, yes, he's been attacking me

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

504

out of powdering my hair.

Powdering is one of society'smore ridiculous affectations.

00:28:52His Royal Highness expressed

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

508

509

a gentleman's only affectations

should be a complete lackof affectation.

00:29:04- Did I say--oh, yes.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

513

514

it for the world

Splendid run

Mr. Brummell.Very exciting day.

00:29:16I'm glad the prince

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

519

about advising a prince.

Can be very damaging.

Very good of youto warn me, sir.

00:29:27I hear that the next race

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

525

526

you're not wearing earrings anymore.

The wind gives your earsall the color they need.

00:29:46It's amazing how quickly

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

530

on either side.

But I'd like the opportunity ofapologizing to you for our last meeting.

00:29:59May I call on you one day?

00:30:02That won't be necessary.

00:30:03Ah, charmed, Lady Patricia.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

536

- Like a piece of sculpture

If you'll excuse me

Mr. Silva's herewith another harp.

00:30:27- He wants to talk--

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

541

- Mr. Silva wants his money

I tried to brush himbut he wouldn't brush.

00:30:38I detect a slight imperfection

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

546

that in a jiffy.

Now

Haste is the enemyof perfection.

00:30:52Looks like a Chinese opium den.

00:30:55Have you ever been in a Chinese

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

552

rather mundane taste.

Mr. Silvafor a Baldore harp.

00:31:08Listen to it.

00:31:10Do you think His Royal Highness

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

558

impossible now

But I can change the harpwithin the hour, Mr. Brummell.

00:31:20You already had considerably more

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

562

what Mr. Brummell said?

- That has to be got out of here.- Oh, Mr. Silva.

00:31:31Mortimer tells me that

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

566

of the account

Ohand I'll pay it at the end of the year

00:31:42when I settle all my accounts.

00:31:44Very good, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

573

reckoning sometime

The secret of lifeis to postpone it

00:31:59as long as possible.

00:32:13Mr. George Bryan Brummell.

00:32:23Upon my honor.

00:32:30- Your Royal Highness.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

580

581

- Mr. Brummell.

Lady Patriciato ornament your sex.

00:32:46With Your Royal Highness'

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

585

the congratulations should

go to the nation.

To youthis miniscule token

00:32:57of my respect and affection.

00:32:58Oh, that's good of you, George.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

592

593

damn me if you're not.

- The mixture is my own- Oh.

00:33:19It's excellent!

00:33:21It's a devilish fine idea

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

598

that you approve

He had certain misgivings.

Chimney pipe trousershe called them.

00:33:35Now, let's all have an

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

604

605

that Mr. Pitt is in attendance.

I fully expected him to be ill.

He's not ready to riska breach with me.

00:33:54He chose the lesser

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

513

no disrespect towards you.

You cannot command people'sthoughts, my dear.

00:34:07With Your Lordship's permission

00:34:09will you honor me,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

616

to Mr. Brummell this time.

I'm sure he dancesmuch better than I.

00:34:18I don't know, but I dance much

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

620

extraordinary man.

I'm sure Mr. Brummellshares that opinion.

00:34:32Obviously you don't.

00:34:33I never form an opinion without

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

626

of this country.

A whole new era is dawning.

An era of power loomsand iron works.

00:34:48A smoke-stained,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

632

633

that I wasn't wearing them.

Wellyou valued my opinion.

00:35:08But tonight you knew that you'd

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

637

you tolerate the least

You're quite right.

You could only be sure of thosewho either love or hate you.

00:35:21Are there those that hate you?

00:35:23Oh, yes. Mr. Pitt for one.

00:35:26- He seemed most gracious.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

644

a fairly large net.

Of courseLord Mercer to help him.

00:35:39Why do you think

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

651

652

that you kissed me once.

Apparentlyhave no secrets.

00:35:58Not very romantic.

00:35:59On the contrary.

00:36:02Have tea with me tomorrow.

00:36:05Please.

00:36:08I'm engaged tomorrow

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

661

662

said enough.

Georgein. May I forget my diet tonight?

00:36:26If you promise

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

667

668

will make a wish

- we'll all blow out the candles.- By all means.

00:36:53I've made my wish, George.

00:36:56One, two, three.

00:37:01The address is

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

676

677

678

679

- Not really

My ancestors weren'tas enterprising as yours.

00:37:44Well, before I met you,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

683

myself

that others will do likewise.

I'm very grateful.

Do you really like me?

Very much

You may have yourcommission back, George.

00:38:08You can go back to your regiment

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

691

for military career.

I'm glad.Do you know why?

00:38:18'Cause if you went back to the army

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

695

be selfish

I have a lot to gainfrom your friendship.

00:38:33Hope you do gain a great deal.

00:38:35I'll see to it that you do.

00:38:37Well, George

00:38:38all my life I've been

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

703

704

of that friendship

I wish I could beassured of eternity.

00:39:00Well, it's late.

00:39:03We might both be better

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

711

712

George.

Which dressing gown

What color seatsdo we have tonight?

00:39:48- Forest green, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

717

to your attention again

Bills for furnituresilver, everything.

00:40:01Oh, the total's a crusher.

00:40:02I mentioned that you've been

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

722

723

we're to the good

Are we to the good?

Wellthe club and the races, sir.

00:40:15There are a few things

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

728

one day in a debtors' prison.

Ahwe shall have to take.

00:40:26I made rather a good thing

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

732

733

than I need him.

Odd time for anyoneto come calling, sir.

00:40:56- Is Mr. Brummell in?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

737

of loveliness.

You're an angel of mercyLady Patricia.

00:41:21I'm not an angel,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

741

742

all sorts of excuses

for coming here tonight but

they all seemedsilly and obvious.

00:41:42Well, let's say that you

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

747

748

749

but rather unpatriotic.

WellFrench drawing rooms

00:42:02there might be fewer

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

753

in your war with the prince.

I detect a note of disapproval.

- Yes.- Why?

00:42:17When you attacked the prince,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

759

760

761

of your morality.

My principles are the same.

It's the prince that's changed.

Give him a chanceand he'll make

00:42:35a most enlightened

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

768

as the weather vane.

Strong windwill keep him steady.

00:42:54You?

00:42:57Strong wind usually ends

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

773

774

775

running cliffs.

Thousand maniacs are screaming.

You have every chanceof drowning.

00:43:14But if you ride it through,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

780

781

substantial career.

Noif you don't have any

00:43:31money or position.

00:43:33I should have known better than

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

786

man until after they're married.

Let me show youthe rest of the home.

00:43:54The bedroom is there.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

791

are those who think

there is security anywhere.

This ismy contemplation room.

00:44:08In here I mull things over.

00:44:10Ideas, thoughts, dreams.

00:44:13I contemplate life,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

801

802

the embers of memory.

It hurt you terribly to loseyour commission, didn't it?

00:44:37I admit to a certain twinge

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

809

810

811

tell our grandchildren.

How you came to my houseone night and never left.

00:45:14I believe you mean what you say.

00:45:16I would never abuse this room

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

817

818

819

to put you

out of my thoughts and I will.

I don't want to livein a hurricane

00:45:41I want a secure, quiet bay.

00:45:44I could never be happy knowing

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

825

826

- sir?

When the lady arrivedtake careful note of her eyes?

00:46:25One could not avoid it, sir.

00:46:27Quite. What color would

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

831

the day time a deep blue.

I must havethe contemplation room

00:46:40done over in that exact shade.

00:46:42I expect she'll be

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

839

840

841

842

around to them all.

Don't you find that sad

I find it very difficult to besad about anything, sir.

00:47:21- My bachelor days are numbered.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

847

848

that kind of things.

Splendid

Stop the carriage.

Dance

Darnwhat's the idea?

00:47:52I think they'd dance better

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

855

for his love of animals.

I'd like you to acceptthese little chaps.

00:48:10That's very nice of you, uh, I

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

859

bless their little hearts.

You knowcome away without my purse.

00:48:20Oh, Edwin, pay for them,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

863

864

do you intend to call yours?

The way his ribs stick outBonaparte might be a good idea, don't you?

00:48:30Bonaparte?

00:48:32Bone apart!

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

870

interrupting your happy news.

But I don't like to seeanimals mistreated.

00:48:49I understand perfectly.

00:48:52We ought to celebrate

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

875

permission

I'd rather not mentionit at the club.

00:48:59Patricia wishes the announcement

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

879

- I haven't been invited

Didn't you go throughthe list that was sent me?

00:49:09Oh, don't worry, sir. I've arranged

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

884

to have Mr. Brummell

I have a new member I wishto propose to this club.

00:49:27Mr. George Bryan Brummell.

00:49:29With your gracious permission,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

890

891

Well

Lord Edwin Mercer here will signonce and I shall sign twice.

00:49:40Once as the Duke of Cornwall,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

895

Please go on with your playing.

St. Clairof champagne, please, the best.

00:49:52It's a rather special occasion.

00:49:54And I'd like some food

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

900

is excellent.

Yesa couple of bowls of that, won't we?

00:50:02Good day, Mr. Brummell.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

904

Mr. George Brummell.

Lord Alvanleyyou know Lord Byron,

00:50:13Lord Mindon.

00:50:16I don't wish to meet

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

909

- Your Royal Highness.

You seem to objectto Mr. Brummell, milord?

00:50:25I meant no offence to you, sir.

00:50:28But surely Your Royal Highness

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

916

917

His Royal Highness

prevents my demandingsatisfaction from you now, sir.

00:50:43I hope you don't intend

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

921

Your Royal Highness' dog.

Ohdown there, will you?

00:50:54Josephine's absolutely famished.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

926

before Mr. Brummell's.

- Done.- I'll take a piece of that.

00:51:04Very well.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

930

931

Mr. Pitt

for an empire's presence shouldconcern himself with my future?

00:51:29I was wondering where your very

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

935

936

Legal immunity for example.

An M.P. cannotbe prosecuted for debt.

00:51:42Well, luckily my credit

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

940

it leads to definite rewards.

- If one is loyal to the party.- Naturally.

00:51:51I'm afraid that party

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

945

to advise him to break off

with a certain charming widow.

You seewithout the king's consent.

00:52:02It would be contrary

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

951

in mind

what do you suggest?

A new government.

One capable of negotiatingoutside the bedroom.

00:52:21George, your little beast

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

957

958

frightfully knocked about.

These were the thinnestcranky little beasts you ever saw.

00:52:38French dogs. Now, bones sticking

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

962

963

Bone apart

Ah! Hello

Good morningYour Royal Highness.

00:53:03Good morning, Mr. Brummell.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

969

970

George

What a charming idea. A coatto match yours. Does he hunt?

00:53:17No, but he dances beautifully.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

974

975

just as we were leaving.

Splendid!Congratulations, Napoleon.

00:53:28Mr. Brummell, you designed

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

981

eyes open early in the morning.

Mr. Brummellbreakfast. What would you like?

00:53:44I'm sure you'll make

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

985

I've had nothing but coffee.

Perfect agony.Upon my honor.

00:53:53Well, with a long ride

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

989

- I wish you would.

I feel faint.

You can't run away fromyourself, it's foolish to try.

00:54:10Bacon, Mr. Brummell?

00:54:11Think you can hide behind

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

995

a kind emotion.

Quite sure that your feelingsfor Edwin are very warm

00:54:23at the moment,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

999

disaster for me?

I sayI'm absolutely famished.

00:54:35- Ah! Good of you, George.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1003

one of the more difficult arts.

Difficult? Repulsive.

By George

By Georgeyou've shown character.

00:54:51George.

00:54:57Oh, George, I feel

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1010

1011

1012

but I've got a great many debts.

But this morning I want to talkabout one particular debt

00:55:17which I owed one particular

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1016

up to the hilt.

It's even rare for a princeto meet such a man.

00:55:30And I count it one of the

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1020

very deep affection for you.

I wish you to accept this gift.

As you see it is notyet inscribed.

00:55:51But when I've

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1025

laws of nations and of nature

have decreed that one dayI shall be king.

00:56:07Well, I hope I shall be

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1035

1036

1037

I thank you

for the Earldom you promiseto bestow on me.

00:56:50For sincere and unselfish

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1042

for wishing.

I trust that His Royal Highnesswill take

00:57:09very great care of himself.

00:57:11If no disaster befalls him

00:57:14no disaster

00:57:16will befall any of us.

00:57:19I give you

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1051

will forgive me.

He was going to makethis announcement tonight.

00:57:41But I think that now is

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1055

wish for an untroubled future.

We plan to stay in a happyand secure bay.

00:57:56And avoid the storms of life.

00:58:00Then I suggest we drink

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1061

1062

His Royal Highness' approval

that we be mountedand get on our way.

00:58:20By all means.

00:58:23Oh, this is wonderful.

00:58:30...Patricia,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1070

shall we away?

Prinny dear.

This seems to be the hourfor making announcements.

00:58:58I was thinking I might

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1076

it's just that everybody else

is happy and you're notbut you will be.

00:59:19I pledge it, there's no need

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1081

1082

I won't allow it.

I'm sorry.

Shall we go?

We'll pretend the foxis Mr. Pitt.

00:59:54It's a losing battle, Patricia,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1088

1089

something you knew was wrong?

Even though it would hurt you?

Once when I was a small boy

a large spiced cake.

- Did you try?- Of course.

01:00:21It made me frightfully ill.

01:01:02Tallyho!

01:01:03Tallyho!

01:01:05- Is Mr. Pitt, alright?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1101

soak the leg in brine.

Very good

Good day's workvery good.

01:03:17Jayka took it into

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1106

you got there.

I hope it blendswith the color of my coat.

01:03:33We'll wait what is known

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1112

to believe what I tell you.

It's over.

I promise I'll neversee him again.

01:04:52- I wish to see Mr. Brummell.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1117

Mr. Brummell that I want

10on account immediately.

01:05:02I will put up with no more

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1121

1122

Your Royal Highness.

George

I'm absolutely distraughtGeorge, the most awful thing.

01:05:15I've been up since dawn

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1127

Brandy

MortimerCome with me.

01:05:31She's leaving me George.

01:05:33Maria is going.

01:05:36I don't want to live

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1134

1135

1136

- Come and sit down.

Don't talk if you don'tfeel like it, just rest.

01:06:02These came for you

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1141

I'd blame her really.

People whisperingabout her, slandering her.

01:06:28They said this would ruin my life,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1145

poor

I understand completely

Not only becauseof my affection for you.

01:06:43But because I'm in

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1152

1153

the solid

I am the uncertaindangerous future.

01:07:07The female yearns

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1161

1162

I'm going to give up the throne.

Let Freddie have it.

What use is the thronewithout the one you love?

01:07:27I'll end up as mad as my father.

01:07:29You won't solve anything

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1168

but the truth to you.

And I intend to speak it now.

There is a way for youto keep the throne

01:07:40and the woman you love if

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1174

not from any sense of decency

but because Mr. Pittmaintains the fiction

01:07:54that there is a king and thereby

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1178

all the powers of king

including that of marryingwhom you please.

01:08:10How could I?

01:08:12Take Dr. Warren to Windsor.

01:08:14Ask him to certify

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1184

just to tell the truth.

But it will kill my father.

Your father won't be awareof what's happening.

01:08:25That's true, he talks to trees,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1189

And if you continue to allow it

you'll never rule andyou'll never be fit to rule.

01:08:46You'll come with me George,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1193

I distinctly heard music.

Possibly he's retired.

It might be better if Your Royal Highnesswould see him in the morning.

01:09:39- I will see His Majesty now.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1198

for a son to be concerned

about the conditionof his father?

01:09:50Perhaps in the circumstances

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1202

you're addressing.

I beg yourRoyal Highness' pardon.

01:09:57Restrain your effrontery

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1206

1207

the Prince of Wales

and several othergentlemen are here.

01:10:39Take a note to them.

01:10:41Sire, I have neither paper

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1216

that I've gone to my bed.

He mustn't pout.Affairs of state, you know.

01:11:15Sire, his Royal Highness,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1221

Now women can be honest again.

Sire

You certain?

He's my sonyou know?

01:11:28He was such a

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1227

1228

1229

1230

see a prince?

Oh yes. Of course...the throne room.

01:12:06I'm going mad. I wish to God

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1234

from my brain

and make me well again.

Grant this one boonand I'll ask no more.

01:12:25Allow me to see

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1239

1240

1241

1242

1243

a man's part of his father.

If I degrade himI degrade myself.

01:12:50Very well, wait here.

01:13:08Sire.

01:13:11These gentlemen are aware

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1249

616

Doctor Warren.

Your Majestyat the insistence

01:13:31of his Royal Highness,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1254

1255

will be pleased

to learn of YourMajesty's recovery.

01:13:50- Will he?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1259

you know?

Always did burn the midnightoil but never over books.

01:14:01Slander has reached

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1263

by the sons he bears.

I've had 9 sonsand been blessed once.

01:14:15Fredrick is a good son.

01:14:17Gentlemen, we must not tire

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1268

1269

such

his Royal Highnesswould wish to see it.

01:14:33Your Royal Highness need have

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1274

1207

believe me

how very happy I amto see him so recovered.

01:15:08This is not my son.

01:15:15Fredrick is my son!

01:15:19Your Majesty, this is His Royal

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1281

you wish me dead.

- You want to kill me?- No.

01:15:29But you're

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1287

- Yes

Parliament must have votedon my regency by now.

01:16:16I wonder what's keeping

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1291

the order of the boot.

Your Royal Highness' touchhas improved.

01:16:28You have the hands

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1295

Maria noticed about me.

She cannot abide menwith ugly hands.

01:16:35She loved mine.

01:16:37Blessed little minx,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1300

on Friday night.

Ahis organizing a gala

01:16:49to celebrate my Regency.

01:16:52Will you be bringing Patricia,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1306

a little indisposed.

Nothing serious

I'm sureno further complications.

01:17:07Your Royal Highness,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1313

I've asked Mr. Fox and Mr. Burke

to accompany me asrepresentatives of the opposition.

01:17:24Remnants of opposition, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1317

1318

restricting you

Our arguments were quitein vain.

01:17:36The house was adamant.

01:17:38Mr. Pitt was adamant.

01:17:39So you wish to tie my hands,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1324

or pensions.

After allmight recover...

01:17:48and not approve of some

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1328

no further limitations

In all fairness

apart fromthe matters mentioned

01:18:00your power

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1333

1334

Is that clear?

If you acceptany limitations

01:18:12you accept the principle

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1338

I won't be a puppet!

You seeof the terms of a Regency.

01:18:26It's a question of who rules.

01:18:27- You or...Mr. Pitt?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1343

or Parliament rules.

Don't quibble

You are Parliamentdecline to become your creature.

01:18:39Go back to your Commons.

01:18:41Tell them

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1349

your message

when the House sits again.

Isn't it sitting now?

Mr. PittHouse to recess for a few days.

01:18:55Naturally, it carried.

01:18:58Why should the House recess

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1356

is much improved.

He's to be examined againby a medical commission.

01:19:07Till then, I think

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1363

so poorly advised.

- Get out!- Your Royal Highness.

01:19:22Get out!

01:19:28Mr. Pitt has tricked me.

01:19:29He's gonna have my father

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1371

1372

I shall marry her.

Law or no lawI shall marry--

01:19:42I shall marry her secretly

01:19:44and you must go and tell her,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1378

simply to sit on a throne?

If she really loves youshe won't let you do anything else.

01:19:55I can't give her up.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1382

badly

All this talk about fightingfor principles.

01:20:06Standing up to Pitt.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1386

thinking only of yourself.

Your only interestis to be an Earl?

01:20:17Your Royal Highness

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1391

ex-officer

into a gentleman of property.

It seems you're going to inherit morethan just a crown from your father.

01:20:36You're raving like a lunatic.

01:20:40How dare you?

01:20:42How dare you say that?

01:20:45Retract that, George.

01:20:47If you do not,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1400

1401

1402

1403

1404

1405

1406

1407

of blue.

Yes.

We've missed you at the Hazard Table.You were having quite a run of luck.

01:21:43It ran out.

01:21:46They're saying at the club

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1413

publicly tomorrow.

I didn't haveany doubt about it.

01:21:56You didn't?

01:21:57Not about

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1418

1419

1420

to suppose I wouldn't?

I've seen the Prince.

- Oh.- He sent for me.

01:22:14He didn't tell me

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1425

seem to be unimpaired

why didn't he tell me sohimself?

01:22:23After all, he is

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1430

of superior intellect

is their pride.

And a proud man can bejust as foolish as a fool.

01:22:41You should know better, than to

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1437

1438

my dear friend.

I'll be there.

His Royal HighnessThe Prince of Wales.

01:23:36George is here.

01:23:37So I see.

01:23:41Good evening.

01:23:44I see you're having trouble

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1446

to my tailor about it.

You didn't tell me Mr. Brummellwould be here tonight.

01:23:55Good evening, Lady Patricia.

01:23:56Patricia, Edwin,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1451

1452

and I refused.

I returned his letters unopened.

Even if I'd knownhe'd be here tonight I...

01:24:14still would have come.

01:24:24See, there's something devilish

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1460

1461

among his creditors.

MamaMr. Brummell?

01:24:41My mother, the Countess

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

616

in it

Mr. Brummellwould be charmed

01:24:50if you would take tea

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1469

1470

1471

the first move.

It'll not be me

At least you mightmeet him halfway.

01:25:12The blame was all his,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1476

1477

- Evening

Mrs. Fitzherberthow brilliant an occasion

01:25:40it's made more brilliant

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1481

There's more promising newsout of the continent, tonight.

01:25:57Gordy.

01:25:58I hadn't heard, sir.

01:25:59Yeah, peace with the French.

01:26:01Almost certainly, they're at

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1488

permanent peace with Napoleon?

Possibly not.

Still...certainly worth trying.

Wella chance to stock some French wine.

01:26:19If there's the slightest

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1495

with impoverished upstarts.

Too stupid to knowwhat's good for them.

01:26:40Gordy, who's your fat friend?

01:26:51Shall we dance, Maria?

01:26:53George, you can't

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1501

1502

1503

about being a cripple

is not having to dance.

One of the nice thingsabout this world, Gordy

01:27:26is your presence in it.

01:28:02Mortimer...you must tell

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1509

or a spoon.

They'll be back soon enoughSir. With writs and bailiffs.

01:28:14Perhaps you could

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1514

1515

from a cold game.

Well

But I did teach society to washit's hair and wear clean linen.

01:28:31I'm not at all sure

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1523

Your namesake.

Come in.

Sirsir.

01:28:52Lady Patricia Belham.

01:28:56Thank you.

01:29:02I'm glad she came, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1530

1531

Wrong even about myself.

But never about you.

You know me even betterthan I did.

01:29:33I'll never leave you again.

01:29:34Well, I wish it could

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1537

in a debtor's prison.

I shall refuseto let them take you.

01:29:44A wealthy wife to gratify my old

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1542

if I became a lap-dog.

- And I'd despise myself.- I could never despise you.

01:29:58I thought I did once,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1548

them

you stay with Edwin.

Stay safe and secure.

Ohwords and arguments and logic?

01:30:17I know, I tried them.

01:30:19I convinced myself,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1559

1560

You saw what happened.

Possibly

And I can't stay in this--in this country anymore.

01:30:53So, I'm going away.

01:30:57I must.

01:31:00Take me with you, please.

01:31:02I must be alone for a time.

01:31:05Where will you go?

01:31:07I don't know.

01:31:09You'll be back soon?

01:31:10Soon.

01:31:16I'll wait.

01:31:18I won't be alive

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1577

accompanying you

Noand you won't either,

01:32:17if you know what's good for you.

01:32:18I do, sir.

01:32:23By the way, have we any money?

01:32:26- 14 shillings, sir.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1584

as far as Callais.

Bonaparte...you're going home.

Lord Edwin Mercer.

- You're fit- Very fit, sir.

01:33:39- And Patricia?

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1592

of her these days.

That's what life's like.

Time passes and one sees theleast of those who matter most.

01:33:56Oh Edwin, my ministers

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1597

1598

1599

1600

1601

what you thought of it.

Sir.

Edwinone other matter.

01:34:21Yes, sir?

01:34:22Uh, I've had some

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1607

condition

A bit of a financial fix.Won't accept any help.

01:34:37I wish there was something

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1612

1613

1614

to creep in

I didn't wishto disturb the house.

01:35:23Don't worry about your rent.

01:35:24You'll receive it, presently.

01:35:26Mr. Brummell is

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1620

1621

to be

will still be welcome.

Thank you

Is Mr. Brummell feelingany better, today?

01:35:43A bit better, I think.

01:35:44I'm going to make

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1630

Grand!

Wellyou approve, Mr. Mclver.

01:36:29Approve?

01:36:30In all my days, as a publisher

01:36:31I've never read anything,

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1636

Uhof George Bryan Brummell.

01:36:42- It'll sell better.

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1640

light of love

Oh-hoVery spicy!

01:36:53We'll open the lid there, you

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1644

1645

1646

1647

philosophy of Parliament

versus the divine rightsof kings.

01:37:07Oh, very good, very good!

01:37:09But there's a great

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1652

in the royal closets.

That's what'll interestthe public.

01:37:21Apparently, a man can get

200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

1657

1658

1659

to be sure.

Can you affordsuch expensive gallantry
