What year did it come out? I think I saw some. I don't remember thinking it was a particularly truthful or insightful depiction of the period or what was at stake. The issues are complex, and not widely understood, plus you know how it is - film-makers are usually more interested in showing that people in the olden days had exactly the same preoccupations as us! Maybe I'm being unfair...
 
well, that certainly would explain why my recollection of it is so hazy.
I definitely recall the title but couldn't say for sure if I even saw more than the odd snatch.
My impression was that they had made a rip-roaring slightly soapy story without too much regard for historical authenticity.
but I could be wrong. Were you planning to watch it?
