Supposedly...

Title
[edit]The article acknowledges that the original British title of this British film, which was produced in Britain, starring British people etc, is "Lady Hamilton". Shouldn't this article therefore be at e.g. "Lady Hamilton (1941 film)"? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk)
- This film was made in Hollywood, with a number of British ex-pats in the cast, it isn't really a British film. I have made alterations to account for this, and added citations Philip Cross (talk) 12:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hi @Ashley Pomeroy and Philip Cross: I just watched the film on DVD and the opening titles (I mean the original, as they were in 1941 at release) clearly read "Lady Hamilton", not "That Hamilton Woman". In my opinion the article should be moved to "Lady Hamilton (1941 film)", exactly as Ashley Pomeroy said, with a statement of clarification about the title "That Hamilton Woman", which was the poster title & distribution title in the USA.

Historical Accuracy - portrayal of Nelson
[edit]Those with access to the vital statistics of Nelson and Olivier may be able to answer this: how closely or otherwise in size were they. Nelson even before losing his arm was neither very strong nor very tall, whereas Olivier (from having seen an excerpt from the film in a TV documentary on the Nelson-Hamilton relationship) appears to me to be too tall and muscular.Cloptonson (talk) 13:09, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- Found half the answer to my question. Nelson was 5 feet 5 and a half inches tall, according to list, titled Small But Great, compiled by Jeremy Beadle for The Book of Lists 3 (1981) edited by David Wallechinsky and several Wallaces.Cloptonson (talk) 13:35, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
