This should have been a 10, but my three demerit points are for disappointment which can best be described as follows: This is a beautiful production with well thought out highly expensive details and location sets. The acting is superb and the English appropriate for royals and servants. It is therefore sad to observe the several errors and anachronisms of language, persons, events and time that prevent this production from becoming a historical masterpiece. Instead, we appear to have revisionist British History of its time. Much as I would like to list the dozen or so flagrant errors, I fear to do so in case one or all may be considered spoilers and thereby exempt me from further discourse. However I think I am safe in pointing out that Johnnie and George(who was really called Bertie) were brothers with an age difference of ten years and not two that the movie appears to indicate. At the end of the period portrayed (Jan 1919), George was a 23 year old Naval Lieutenant and not the 16 year old callow youth we see in the uniform of a midshipman. If asked, I would be pleased to write a complete critique on this movie which is the type of historical drama that we need more of in an age when good productions are few and far between.
