About
"Golden Globe winner Ian McShane (Deadwood, Sexy Beast) gives an acclaimed performance as the most colorful and flamboyant political figure of the 19th century. Heading a powerful British ensemble cast, he shines in the title role, capturing the charm, determination, and political brilliance that won the favor of Queen Victoria and eventually the nation. Initially mocked and ridiculed at his attempt to rise within British government, Benjamin Disraeli used his fame as a writer of scandalous novels and his charm with influential women to make remarkable strides in Parliament. He eventually becomes the first and only Jewish born Prime minister to serve in the history of Britain. Beautifully shot on location, and spanning five decades of Disraeli's life, this multiple-Emmy nominated, original miniseries is an engrossing portrait of one of Britain's most controversial leaders."--Container.
