No not boring.

We are old enough to remember Malcolm Muggeridge and were amazed to see his part in this film based on fact. You need to Google him and Wodehouse to find background to the film if your under 75 and know nothing about P. G. Great acting by all involved.

Mrs Wodehouse ( Zoe Wanamaker) had some wonderful costumes Where did she get the coupons?

Another thing to Google if you haven't heard how they contributed to the war effort.

PG Wodehouse an Innocent Unwitting Pawn

As a person who enjoys Masterpiece Theater productions, I saw this film highlighted on Prime and decided to watch it. I knew little about PG Wodehouse, only that he wrote a popular character called Jeeves who is a butler and a rather scornful butler at that. Wodehouse appears to have been a very nice man who was wrongly accused of aiding the enemy during WWII. Specifically the Germans and not by being a spy but by unwittingly agreeing to do radio broadcasts to let his American public know that he has escaped harm after being released from a German civilian internment camp. The subsequent radio broadcasts are misunderstood by the British and are seen unfavorably bordering on treason. The film is well cast and the characters fleshed out. It is a beautiful portrait of the author who only realizes that he has been used once his wife has reunited with him in Berlin and she explains it to him in no uncertain terms. This quiet film is truly enjoyable even though it is a story tinged with sadness and regret.

Fantastic acting

One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. What others have criticized as "cardboard, cartoonish and lifeless," I find as being consistent with characters being presented. An innocent man/child in a bewilderingly serious world he is not part of and can only marginally relate to.

Whether this characterization is accurate to the real man is almost irrelevant. The world is a dark place and the only way he can relate to it is by jokes and the only way he can cope is by describing its absurdities.
