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.” You can find this and all our previous episodes at: Amazon Music Apple Podcasts Libsyn Player FM Podtail Owltail ListenNotes Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod Join us over at our Facebook Group ….we’d love to chat with you email: [email protected] #monalisa #bobhoskins #britmovie #reelbritannia #michaelcaine #robbiecoltrane Thanks for listening Scott, Paul and Charlie
