Gone With the Wind and Casa Blanca pretty much sucked for the same reason. Oh, and To Kill a Mockingbird? Never actually happened. What a pile of steaming manure. Hey everybody...LIGHTEN UP! LOL It is a movie. Expecting historical fact from Hollywood is stranger than expecting it from Washington, DC. Don't wanna go see Hidalgo? OK! Stay home! But all of this gnashing of teeth and rending of garments over a MOVIE is pretty silly. JMHO :o) Scott Ps. Saw the first matinee showing of Seabiscuit yesterday and have to agree with what seems the consensus - AWESOME! They left out my favorite line from the book though....when asked how he intended to compete with a shattered leg on a horse with one bum leg itself, Red responded, "Well, between the two of us, we have four good legs." Now I don't know if that is historically an accurate quote or not, but what a good one nonetheless!
