The Kaiser's Last Kiss is a 2003 novel written by Alan Judd. The story gives a fictional account of the last few days in the life of exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II after his home at Doorn, Netherlands is taken over by the invading Germans during the opening months of the Second World War. The book was published by Harper Perennial. In October 2015, filming started for the adaptation of the book starring Lily James and Jai Courtney.
Written by Simon Burke, the movie is an Egoli Tossell Film and Ostar Enterprises production. Judy Tossell and Lou Pitt are producing and Bill Haber and Phil Geier are executive producing. Lotus Entertainment will introduce the project to foreign buyers starting at the Cannes film festival. "In David Leveaux, our film has found the perfect director to wring every last ounce of drama from this very special script," Judy Tossell said in a statement. "Audiences will rarely have seen a character quite like the Kaiser, brought to life by one of cinema's great treasures Christopher Plummer -- combined with the sensational Lily James. We look forward to taking this passionate spy thriller to Cannes and beyond."Advertisement

A lethally dangerous love affair ignites between a German officer and a young Jewish Dutch woman with consequences that neither they nor the kaiser himself could have foreseen. As the Nazis race to identify and eliminate the agent to block the potentially disastrous defection of their former emperor to England, the threads of history conspire with the recklessness of the heart to dumbfound them."Advertisement
The kaiser is living on a splendid estate outside Utrecht, shielded from pedestrian concerns by a loyal coterie that includes his aide-de-camp Col. Von Ilsemann (Ben Daniels) and his calculating empress, the Princess Hermine (the always excellent Janet McTeer).
K T Tunstall, the Scottish singer-songwriter whose last-minute appearance on Jools Holland's late-night TV show transformed her career, won the best British female solo artist category but offered a part of it to Kate Bush. She concluded one of the more coherent speeches with a rallying cry: " Ladies, disregard your limits."
Madonna was also cheered loudly when she was named best international female artist, but fuelled the speculation of marriage difficulties when she apparently ignored efforts by husband Guy Ritchie to kiss her as her success was announced.
In a recent survey, 30 percent of women on medical faculties reported experiencing sexual harassment at work within the past two years, said Dr. Reshma Jagsi, who conducted the poll.
