Gosford Park Storyline
Set in the 1930's the story takes place in an old fashioned English country house where a family has invited many of their friends up for a weekend shooting party. The story centers around the McCordle family, particularly the man of the house, William McCordle. Getting on in years William has become benefactor to many of his relatives and friends.

Gosford Park plot
- Sir William McCordle is a wealthy but uncouth industrialist-turned-aristocrat, with a large house in the English countryside, complete with staff. It is a world where everything runs in order - both upstairs, where Sir William and his much younger wife Lady Sylvia indulge in a very comfortable existence of shooting, dinners and parties, and downstairs, where the servants work endlessly under the command of the butler Mr. Jennings, and the house keeper Mrs. Wilson. Whether they like it or not, everyone knows their place. But a shooting party will change all of that, with friends of the McCordles and their servants arriving from outside to upset the order. And so begins a complicated tale of secrets, lies, deceit, betrayal, revenge, bitterness, hatred, money and love - and that's all before the murder.
Gosford Park trivia
- 'Eileen Atkins' (qv), who plays Mrs Croft the cook, was co-creator (with actress 'Jean Marsh' (qv)) of the classic British drama series _"Upstairs, Downstairs" (1971)_ (qv). The movie also features 'Meg Wynn Owen' (qv), who starred in the series from 1973-1975
- The wallpaper in Constance Trentham's bedroom is hand-painted, imported from France. Even for this very small set, it would have cost the filmmakers $18,000; however, the manufacturer donated it to the production. Even so, the owners of the house demanded that the walls were re-papered to their liking (to match their bedding) after the production was over.
- By her own admission, 'Kristin Scott Thomas' (qv) was famously difficult on set whilst working on the film. In an interview with a British newspaper in 2005, she said that "when I did _Gosford Park (2001)_ (qv) with 'Robert Altman (I)' (qv), apparently I was a complete nightmare. I was very imperious and completely foul and horrible. And I had no idea I was doing it at all. Actually, that's not entirely true; I did wonder why people were giving me sideways looks, and there would be this odd hush whenever I walked into a room. The only explanation I could come up with was that I was half in character the whole time. I was playing this woman who was difficult and so I became difficult. But I did apologize to everyone afterwards."
- 'Ivor Novello' (qv) (played by 'Jeremy Northam' (qv)) was a well known London matinée idol, singer and composer who starred in 'Alfred Hitchcock (I)' (qv)'s silent classic -The Lodger (1927)_. He had a good voice and starred again in the successful 'sound' remake (1932). In _Gosford Park (2001)_ (qv), set in November 1932, Countess Constance ('Maggie Smith (I)' (qv)) refers to the remake as a flop.
- None of the actors who played servants wore any make-up.
