Episode 128 - Mona Lisa (1986)
Oct 29, 2022
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.
A special episode this week where Scott is joined by his fellow co hosts of the Stinking Pause podcast, Paul and Charlie to chat about rabbits, rough Soho strip joints and Mr Robbie Coltrane (this episode was recorded a few weeks before his recent passing)
Mona Lisa (1986)
“After getting out of prison, George (Bob Hoskins) looks for a job, but his time in prison has reduced his stature in the criminal underworld. The only job he can find is to be a driver for beautiful, high-priced call girl Simone (Cathy Tyson), with whom he forms an at first grudging, and then a real, affection. But Simone's playing a dangerous game, and when George agrees to help her, they both end up in deep trouble with Mortwell (Sir Michael Caine), the local kingpin.”
“Being cheap is one thing. Looking cheap is another. That really takes talent.”
