The Last King - The Power and the Passion of Charles II (DVD, 2004) Rufus Sewell

Description: It's not always good to be king in this fascinating BBC/A&E historical drama, featuring a complex performance by Rufus Sewell as the exiled British monarch who returned to a volatile, post-Cromwell England in the 17th century. Pressed to forgive the enemies who killed his father, Charles II takes the throne and finds himself squeezed from all sides by vicious power brokers, his vengeful mother (Diana Rigg), a manipulative mistress (Helen McCrory), dubious advisers, a contrarian best friend (Rupert Graves), and his bewildered Portuguese wife (Shirley Henderson). Problems with the Plague and Charles's own, restless libido further complicate family and political dramas, but beneath the king's operatic tenure are visible strains of progressive government: Charles, after all, ushered in an early era of democracy in England. The Last King's sharp script never slows, but it's the cast's intense performances that bring royal intrigues to life. --Tom KeoghProduct detailsAspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.78:1Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ NoMPAA rating ‏ : ‎ Unrated (Not Rated)Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 3.2 ouncesMedia Format ‏ : ‎ Color, Closed-captioned, NTSC, Anamorphic, Miniseries, DolbyRun time ‏ : ‎ 3 hours and 8 minutesRelease date ‏ : ‎ April 27, 2004Actors ‏ : ‎ Rufus Sewell, Rupert Graves, Charlie Creed-Miles, Christian Coulson, Shirley HendersonLanguage ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo)Studio ‏ : ‎ A&E Home VideoNo stock photos. The actual item is the one shown. Only items in pictures included. OOP - Out of Print. Sensormatic refers to the Security tag inside a DVD. It is put in at the factory before shipping usually on first releases by major studios. I use it to identify a genuine or authentic DVD - not a bootleg or a copy. I do NOT grade the actual plastic case unless it has a tooth missing or a large rip or tear or is a cardboard snap case. All of my DVDS are authentic releases and may have some wear on outer plastic case due to genuine age of product. A slit through the Barcode is common for some manufacturers to do when discounting additional copies to a retail store. It also helps to verify an authentic copy. Promotional items and inserts are left in place, I make no guarantees digital codes, promotions, or coupons will work. They are included as they were part of the original purchase. Items are packaged well with reused/recycled packaging in a mailer designed for CDs/DVDs. CDs/DVDs are shipped USPS Media Mail from the Baltimore, MD area next business day. Happy to combine shipping, just let me know.
