Mosley (1998)
7/10
Flawed, but interesting.

As former head of the American Fascist Party, I know a thing or two about Fascism and its roots in Mosley's BUF. Mr. Cake portrays Mosley as a smarmy lounge-lizard much of the time, which is totally inaccurate; he does, however, shine brilliantly during the Albert Hall speech. Fascism and its policies (and internal difficulties) are portrayed accurately, if somewhat superficially; few people know that the BUF was a promoter of peace and "England First." In spite of some truly dreadful casting (Hitler and Goebbels are nearly unrecognizable) the film is, at least, better than nothing. The depiction of the "Battle of Cable Street" is exciting and well done. Worth buying.
