Oh, what it is to be a smart arse!  What happened to watching films for enjoyment, not just to pick holes in the story?!   ::) :bubble:

Well said, Simon. Even I enjoyed Mel being Wallace, even although I knew it wasn't the real truth.  You go to the movies to be entertained, who cares if it keeps to the historical facts.

Oh yes, Sam, great examples of historical inaccuracy, but both still reasonably enjoyable films.

Half of what fills the pages of history books, isn't accurate. So putting Mel in a skirt, sorry kilt, certainly doesn't worry most folk, especially the women folk.  ;)
