While not showing her childhood, first marriage to Winston Churchill's son, or most of her affairs, we do get to see her affair and eventual marriage to Broadway producer Leland Hayward, and then her marriage to politician Averell Harriman, with whom she had an affair while both were married to others in World War II. We also see her as ambassador to France during her last years, and her death in 1997. While some (mostly her lovers) adored her, others (mostly her son and her husbands' children) hated her.

Quotes:

Mrs. Moore: My dear, life rarely gives us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.

Mrs. Moore: God has put us on earth to love and help our fellow men.::Ronny: Yes, mother.

Richard Fielding: [on the glasses found on Aziz after the latter's arrest] If Adela had hit him with it, he'd hardly take it with him.::McBryde: I'm not surprised.::Richard Fielding: I don't follow.::McBryde: When you think of crime, you think of English crime. The psychology's different out here.

McBryde: [at the trial] Before we begin, I'd like to state what I believe to be a universal truth: the darker races are attracted to the fairer, but not vice-versa.::Advocate Amrit Rao: Even when the lady is LESS attractive than the gentleman? [court breaks out in laughter]

Das: [Ali is carrying on during the trial] Please, this is no way to defend your case!::Ali: I am not defending a case - and YOU are not trying one! We are both slaves!::Das: Mr. Mahmoud Ali, if you don't calm down, I will have to exercise my authority.::Ali: Do so! This trial is a farce! [throws papers off the desk] I'm going! I've ruined my career! [to Aziz] Farewell my friend!::Ali: Mrs. Moore! Where are you, Mrs. Moore?

Ali: How is Britain justified in holding India?::Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: Unfair political question!::Richard Fielding: No, no! Well, personally, I'm here because I need a job.::Ali: Qualified Indians also need jobs!::Richard Fielding: I got here first. [laughter] Well, I like it here and that's my excuse.::Advocate Hamidullah: And those Englishmen who do not like it here?::Richard Fielding: Chuck 'em out. [laughter]::Ali: Indians are also saying that.

Major Callendar: [to Ronny, on Mrs. Moore] She's old - we musn't forget that. Old people never take things as one expects.

Turton: [in a club meeting] There is a certain member here present who is known to be in contact with the defense. One can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds - at least not in this country!::Richard Fielding: I'd like to say something.::Turton: Please do.::Richard Fielding: I believe Dr. Aziz is innocent. I will await the verdict of the jury. If he is found guilty, I will resign my post and leave India. I resign from the Club now! [exits]

Dr. Aziz H. Ahmed: [to Ali and Hamidullah when Fielding visits] No, he does not need THREE chairs! He is NOT THREE Englishmen!

Ronny: [on Aziz] He was dressed in his Sunday best, and his back collar stud was out. And there you have the Indian all over.
