Sir Winston Churchill gets into the backseat of a gleaming 1948/49 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in Monaco harbor, 1956. The car, a touring limousine owned by his publisher Emery Reves, has its front and rear "suicide" doors open. Standing on the stone quay and observing the scene are Aristotle Onassis and Edmond Murray, Churchill’s Scotland Yard bodyguard. A gangway suggests a ship is docked just out of frame, while the city rises on a hillside across the water.
