Yeah, this has puzzled me from the start with this film. Normally unapproved bio pics based on a living person at least change the name (viz: Citizen Hearst, ... um, sorry, Kane, right?) out of fear of libel action, I thought. I can't think of any other film that blatantly sets out to tell a fictional story injurious to the reputation of a living person without renaming them. (Well, My Name Is Bruce, arguably, I guess. But that starred and was directed and co-produced by the "victim", something of an exception.) I'd love to see Carter-Ruck take this on in a British libel case!
