Even though I was 5 or 6 at the tie,I remember the final scene in which Emma, an old woman much like what we would call "a bag lady' enters a pub hoping for a handout. Hamilton, although accurately depicted as much older, is portrayed as corpulent and hateful as I recall the film. When I was ten I was infatuated with Sir Laurence Olivier, Leslie Howard and epic British movies when my friends were watching cartoons and the Bing,Bob and Dorothy Road Pictures." I haven't changed.
