Chips Channon Diaries

This film is a review of the beautifully written diaries of a waspish insider (American who became and MP and married into the Guinness family) and obsessional social climber, from 1918-38. It includes his visit to the Olympics in Berlin and his impressions of the competitive party-giving by Ribbentrop, Goering and Goebbels (each of which he attended). It goes on to cover Channon's dislike of socialists (except Ramsay MacDonald as ex-socialist) and, most remarkably of all, the night the King came to dinner, and the extraordinary thing he said.
