Nicol Williamson and Janet Suzman as Lord and Lady Mountbatten. Upon his arrival in India
he serves as the go-between for the leaders of the Congress Party. The charismatic leaders
India's Nehru and Jinnah who fought for the formation of Pakistan made Mountbatten walk a
tightrope in securing peace to all sides of the conflict. But to no avail, civil disorder
could not be stopped which led to the creation of Pakistan. Ian Richardson in the role
of Nehru, adds a dimension to this historical drama that changed the Asian landscape.
