    Pity the British actors! Forced to do their best in a criminally bad American hashing of what was then the latest royal headline story. The American pay was better than any similar work from a British production and they were probably only too glad it wasn't run in the U.K., like those Japanese commercials where American stars get a truckload of dough and the contract says "we won't run this in the States."
