The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare review – Guy Ritchie’s fun wartime romp

Guy Ritchie’s inevitable graduation from London to Hollywood has had its moments – the rambunctious zip of the first Sherlock Holmes, the stylish homoeroticism of The Man from UNCLE – but it soon felt as if the once electrifying film-maker had been swallowed up by the system.

From White Mischief to Bill & Ted, Joss Ackland was an actor of rare poise, range and pathos

Joss Ackland’s elegant bearing, natural aplomb and English theatrical training meant that he never lacked for work on stage or screen, largely playing authority and establishment figures — although these movie roles were a bit ironised and sent up in the parts he got offered in the 90s and 00s (to his reported chagrin). But growing up, I was aware of him only via that rich, mellifluous voice of his, like melted butterscotch, in an inordinate...
