Christine

Synopsis:
based on Christine Keeler's own book, this is the authorised version. and it shows: here, Keeler is the victim in each of the widely known, but still extraordinary, plot twists of the 1960s scandal: from the topless dancer's introduction to high society (groped at dinner parties), to her feuding lovers (stalked and attacked), to her simultaneous liaisons with the Minister of War and a Soviet spy (shows unlikely concern for their wives).
Emma John, Time Out London
