THE DUKE (2022) Official Trailer [HD] Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren - In Cinemas February 25

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.

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.

Three minutes ago I didn't know this movie existed and now I've got to go look for it.

Broadbent is a gem. Mirren isn't shabby either! Looking forward to seeing this film.

Wow a real movie with talent and storytelling as opposed to CGI and promoted at comic con. Thank goodness a few real movies still exist.

Always gonna have in my head Professor Slughorn when watching this movie.

Watched this on streaming not long ago. I knew about the painting, but I had no idea that this was the story behind its theft! A marvelous performance by Broadbent, who conjures just as much magic here as in Harry Potter. Great fun.

Saw this Friday night. Good accents for Newcastle, just a shame it was actually filmed in Yorkshire rather than Newcastle due to financing from that area.

[upasanasahoo]

I am glad I watched the trailer. When I first heard the title I thought it was a biopic of John Wayne.

[porkscratchings]

I never would have guessed that was Helen Mirran.

Excellent film, see it if you get the chance.

The Duke is wonderful, quirky and oh so English. Another similarity quirky and funny very English film is Phantom of the Open starring Mark Ryland.
