The Duke (Comedy)

“The Duke” arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Tuesday July 26, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Set in 1961, the film recounts the true story of Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), a 60-year-old taxi driver who stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government agreed to provide television for free to the elderly. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge—a startling revelation of how a good man set out to change the world and, in so doing, saved his son (Fionn Whitehead) and his marriage to Dorothy Bunton (Helen Mirren).

The home entertainment editions of “The Duke” include a “making of” featurette.

“The Duke” was the final film of acclaimed British filmmaker Roger Michell, who also directed “Notting Hill” and “Venus.”

One Moment (Dramedy)

 Demanding and difficult, Joe stubbornly believes he is still capable of running his own life which leads to sad, but sometimes hilarious situations. Although at odds on how to best care for Joe in his final years, the family is united in wanting to ensure his well-being and help him find peace of mind—without them losing their own.

 From director Deirdre O’Connor (“30% Sun, 100% Fun”), this family comedy-drama also stars Adria Tennor (“Bad Moms”), Frankie Ingrassia (“Goliath”), Natalie Seus (“Heart Strings”), Sal Rendino (“Billions”) and Sioux Madden (“American Masters”).
