The screenplay would give a different role to Lady Hamilton and to Nelson different than the real history. Lady Hamilton actually was a very frivolous courtesan, closely linked to the to the equally frivolous Neapolitan court, Nelson's lover and capable of managing a a triangular relationship, very similar to the extended families of the current time, but also to convince Nelson to condemn to death more than 100 people of the Neapolitan Revolution without understanding the meaning of her act. All this sense doesn't shine through the film, there is just an unfortunate woman almost heroic. The story is completely different and has some implications and completely different meanings.
