Marlyn Robinson notes: > There's an entry on this movie in the IMDB, titled "The Tichborne > Claimant". the story of a long lost son, a great fortune, and the longest > running trial in English history - actually, there were two, the first > lasting 102 days to determine if the claimant to the Tichborne baronetcy > and estate was an imposter, and the second for perjury lasting 188 days (in > those days a trial lasting more than a day and a jury deliberating more > than a few minutes was unusual). Appeals, etc. dragged on for another 7 > years. At the time, it probably got more public attention than the Winslow > case did later. The film was directed by David Yates, written by Joe > Fisher and stars Robert Pugh, Stephen Fry, John Kani. So far as I know, > it's only shown at film festivals, first time at Edinburgh in '98. There > was a lengthy article on it in the Australian paper(? mag?) Panorama, > 10/10/98. It got picked up by a UK distributor this spring, Redbus Film. The film is profiled in a flier for coming attractions at the Lagoon/Uptown Theaters in Minneapolis, part of the Landmark Theaters group.
