Oliver Parker’s feature is the final film of legendary Oscar-winner Glenda Jackson—who died nine months after its production’s conclusion at the age of 87—and was, at the time of its 2023 theatrical release in the United Kingdom, announced as the swan song of Michael Caine, who’s only recently said that he’s coming out of retirement to join Vin Diesel in The Last Witch Hunter 2.
