Description:

The Winslow Boy, Mamet's sixth film as writer-director, is an inspired adaptation of Terence Rattigan's celebrated play. Set in 1910, The Winslow Boy is based on the real-life story of a young naval cadet who is accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order. Convinced of the boy's innocence, the Winslow family leap to his defense. As the case gathers momentum, national interest is accompanied by frenzied media interest, and many long-accepted legal notions are thrown into question. The Spanish Prisoner was acclaimed as 'a sly, delightful, brilliantly constructed con game' in the Daily Telegraph. Joe Ross, a young company hot-shot, has developed the coveted 'process'. Excited by the potential gains, his employers determine to keep the details secret at all costs. Joe soon finds himself drawn into a dangerous world characterized by paranoia, intrigue and duplicity. In The Spanish Prisoner David Mamet has brilliantly reinvented the classic con-trick-drama.
