Our curator, Stuart Orme, takes a look at the film and assesses what's good and bad about it from an historian's point of view…"

Very good discussion. The gentlemen touched on all the point that irritate me and raised some I was unaware of. There is definitely need for more films on the period. |

When the film was released, my friends and I were about to take our A level History examinations, and had followed a course that covered the period. One of my friends said he would go and see Cromwell to revise the Civil Wars. He failed – 'nuff said! |

I enjoyed that. It was nice to have my suspicions confirmed, especially about the lack of the film's attention to Fairfax. I would like to do some research about the period when England transitioned back to the monarchy, as the Puritan faction found themselves increasingly unpopular with the British people.
Cheers!

Is there a full three hours plus version of this film to be found about? |
