About

THE DUKE opens the Mostly British Film Festival (March 10 - 17) this year.

Critics are comparing the whimsy displayed in the film to the spirit and buoyancy of Frank Capra comedies. This new British entry falls into the category of life as stranger than fiction. It recounts an incredible true event from 1964 when a taxi driver climbs through a bathroom window at London’s National Gallery in the early hours and swipes Goya’s prized portrait of the Duke of Wellington.
