Scargill spoke passionately for a motion to condemn police, not the strikers, for the violence on the picket lines. The measure passed amid tumult and cheers for the N.U.M. president and hoots of derision for moderate union leaders. Then Kinnock lost another battle, this one over an arcane party rule giving local constituency committees-usually a stronghold of party leftists-the power to decide whether their parliamentary representatives should be allowed to stand for reelection.

In one day Gaston is forced to adopt the guilt of the 18 years he lived as Jacques Renaud, to both condemn and deny the man he once was. The intrigues of the Renand family would certainly be far easier to dramatize, but Director Holly Swartz has opted to focus on the more compelling, psychological drama of Gaston until the tension between guilt, responsibility and freedom reaches a disturbing, unresolved height...
