Details
Movie Description
A young showgirl becomes the fixation of a man-about-town. He molds her into a chic British socialite and she and a friend begin a seductive reign over Britain's political elite. A public scandal ensues when she tells the press of her simultaneous affairs with the secretary of state and a suspected Soviet spy.
Synopsis
Inspired by England's Profumo scandal in which a member of Parliament was revealed to be deeply involved with a prostitute.
Social climber Stephen Ward takes alluring young women under his wing, and then introduces them to his influential circle of friends. But when one of these ladies has an affair with both Ivanov, a high-ranking Russian officer, and John Profumo, a British government official, the ensuing sex scandal causes an uproar. Soon, Profumo has been forced to resign, Ward has been arrested, and England's Conservative administration has fallen.
Film Notes
An R-rated, edited (105 minute) version of "Scandal" is also available on video, which contains less nudity and tamer language.
Color by Technicolor.
