ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Richard Bellamy is so impressed by Hudson's performance in court that he compares him to Marshall-Hall. Sir Edward Marshall-Hall (1858-1927) was a formidable English barrister who successfully defended many people accused of notorious murders. He was known as "The Great Defender".
  EDIT SHARE
- Mrs Bridges is compared to Rosa Lewis. Rosa Lewis (1867-1952) worked her way up from kitchen maid to cook. She cooked for Lady Randolph Churchill and became a favourite of King Edward VII. Her life story inspired the 1976 series The Duchess of Duke Street.
