Sporting a moustache and wearing jeans and t-shirt, George delighted onlookers by signing autographs. He has co-written, produced and is directing the drama which follows the story of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives programme, an Allied group, tasked with saving pieces of art before their destruction by Hitler during the Second World War. It is scheduled to be released on December 18 this year.
