in 1857 a citizen of great britain ( from the channel island of jersey ) at least i do not think so . jersey like the other channel island be an independent state otherwise and for example it would have the same income tax regime a applies elsewhere in the place govern by the uk parliament which be currently england and scotland and wale and northern ireland and although in 1857 the whole of ireland be under uk law . the film be nonetheless of interest apart from the error in the comment that i record . one wonder whether a good portrayal of a fascinating story would have be achieve with the lead play by a more natural actor and rather than the wife of the director . however and this rather stiff style be of it age and so hardly surprising a it be not make in the time of susan sarandon or meryl streep .
