review
Just released on Oct.18, 2011, on BLU- RAY / DVD Imagery, "The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher" . This is a 3 part story of Margaret Thatcher's life as she led the United Kingdom for more than ten years.
The first part of Margaret's story is told in the film " The Long Walk to Finchley". Here young Margaret Roberts meets her husband-to-be Denis. The film tells of Margaret Thatcher's steely determination to get selected to a 'winnable' Tory seat in the fifties. Margaret is an ambitious twenty-something research chemist on the first rungs of the ladder to Parliament. Margaret is outspoken and works hard to gain a seat in Parliament.
In "The Long Walk to Finchley" Margaret is played by Andrea Riseborough who " gives Thatcher humor, drive, and sex appeal..." stated by the London Evening Standard.
