Clive Owen, Helen Mirren, and Maggie Smith in "Gosford Park"

This week, Morgan and Gavia revisit an old favorite: Robert Altman's 2001 masterpiece Gosford Park. They admire the film's depiction of interwar Britain; praise its sprawling cast of legendary actors including Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, and Clive Owen; and compare it to the less politically astute "Downton Abbey," also written by screenwriter Julian Fellowes.
