Title: The West WA - WIN 1 of 20 double passes to the preview of The Duke/Subs Post by: oldfellow on Monday 21 February 2022, 08:37:50 am https://thewest.com.au/entertainment/competitions/win-1-of-20-double-passes-to-the-preview-of-the-duke-c-5716293
WIN 1 of 20 double passes to the preview of The Duke WEST REWARDS THE DUKE is the true story of Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, who stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Led by two British greats, Jim Broadbent and Dame Helen Mirren and directed by the late Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Tea with the Dames), THE DUKE is the first film to tell this extraordinary true story. In cinemas March 31. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly - he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.
