Hello all,
Newbie here - People here who are members of the AP too? -
I have seen a few movies, and a bunch of documentaries, on Diana.
I didn't like "The Murder of Princess Diana", the plot was awfull and the only scene that was 'ok', was the actuall car-scene, and as for "Diana - Her True Story" and "Diana - The People's Princess", they both could have been much better with other actors and a better script, especially "The People's Princess". I found the actress in "Her True Story" a bit annoying and the hairstyle was not great either(but they tried, atleast.), but atleast they tried to give a correct version of the story. "The People's Princess" was ok, fine to see Diana's humanitarian side for once, bad script(especially the Dodi/Diana-relationship...), Amy Claire Seccombe tried to do her best as Diana, and she was moving at times. "Princess In Love" was worst of all, totally wrong actors and the plot could have been a bit better. However, there were some movies on Diana I actually found good. These would be: "Whatever Love Means", actually about Charless and Camilla, and "Last Days of a Princess", which tries to give a look at her last days(found this much better than "People's Princess"), here the actresses looked like the part and that really does 'lots. I have also seen the Queen, which I found quite good even though Diana is only seen briefly and through archival footage, Prince William, which starts with her death, and also the series The Queen, which has 5 episodes each about a seperate issue from The Queen's life, starting with the Affair of Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend(?) and ending with the marriage of Charles and Camilla. Diana is shown in one episode, and the actress has some resemblance to Diana, she is portrayed here as an unhappy woman who seeks a way to an ends, during the year of 1992. Also I have seen "The Biographer", which does not feature the Princess as a character though, which is about Andrew Morton and the period in which he wrote "Her True Story", however Diana is seen in archival footage and we can hear her voice from time to time, when Andrew Morton plays the tapes which he used to write the book. Also there is an actress playing her, but we never get to see her face, nor hear a voice... We just see she's about to make a phone call(if I remember correctly), and this would lead to the writing of the book eventually. Also it ties up the story nicely as the movie itself does end in Paris, August 31st 1997, with the car crash and a fitting quote from Diana which says "I knew my life would be a winding road."
However, a little request(do not shoot me here, if you please)....
Would anyone be willing to sell some copies of the next movies, or upload them somewhere? As they are so rare I would not be amazed many people would be glad to see these online.
The one's I'd like to get my hands on are:
Charles & Diana - A Royal Love Story
Charles & Diana - A Royal Romance
Charles & Diana - Unhappily Ever After(aka A Palace Divided)
The Biographer(one of the better movies on the subject, because Diana isn't messed up but her presence is felt)
If anyone is willing to help me out here. I'd be grateful
