A very sad story---Great acting by Ms Swinton and Ms Moore.

FWIW,My wife agreed with you that it's a sad story while I and our younger adult daughter,who saw the film in Brazilia,where she's working,didn't really.Probably I was more sanguine about it because I think AD is an idea whose time has come.Agree about the acting BTW.

Re 'The Long Haul' interesting to compare it to 'Hell Drivers' made the same year. Wonderful cast, Stanley Baker, Herbert Lom, Patrick McGoohan, Wiliam Hartnell etc etc
 
You guys probably know, but Dors wasn't her real name. Can't blame her from changing her stage name. Diana Fluck could haven proven rather problematic.
She came from Swindon. My mother in law's sister and her husband lived next door to the Flucks in the old railway village part of the town and were good friends. I don't recall any single occasion when the name even came up in conversation as being near the knuckle or a matter of ridicule. I don't rember the F word being used in those far off days in the 50s by ordinary people anyway, 'bloody' was probably the limit but no doubt the upper classes would be au fait with it. Nowadays she probably could have used her real name without any problem.
