Mountstuart’s trajectory takes him to Paris in the ’20s, the Spanish Civil War in the ’30s, British intelligence in the ’40s, the New York art scene in the ’50s, a left-wing terrorist cell in the ’70s…and that’s not all.
Watch the full episode. See more Masterpiece.
Along the way he befriends Ernest Hemingway (Gulian Ovenden, Foyle’s War) and Ian Fleming (Tobias Menzies, Casino Royale), meets Winston Churchill (Gerry George), and becomes a favorite of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (Tom Hollander and Gillian Anderson)—the abdicated British king and his controversial American wife.
But his most intense relationships are with a succession of women that he loves, marries, or otherwise gets to know.
