Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Charles Stuart Fox was never "Lord Charles Fox". He was in the House of Commons until he died.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): Early in the film a Papillon or Butterfly dog is seen in Brooks. While Papillons were very popular in the late C18th, the erect-eared Papillon shown is thought to date only from Victorian times. The drop-eared Phalene or Moth Papillon would have been a more usual choice for the movie.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): After the French Revolution, Charles Fox did not side with William Pitt the Younger. Whilst they were both members of the Whig Party, Fox was a prominent member of a pro-revolutionary faction of the Party, as opposed to Pitt's anti-revolutionary stance. This difference in opinion would typically pit them on opposite sides of the dispatch box.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): At several points in the movie we see handshakes, notably Wilburforce with other MPs. Handshaking was invented by John Adams in America to replace bowing, which Adams considered submissive and not fitting a government of the people. Handshaking did not arrive as an accepted form of greeting in Great Britain until much later (some say the 1850s).
