Music gaffe


I enjoyed this film, although I wouldn't recommend it as a history lesson. Waxmann's score is good, although he uses the traditional tune "The British Grenadiers" quite a bit. This originates in Playfair's collection of dance tunes published in the 17th century, some decades after the reign of Elizabeth. The words about the British army regiment were added around 1700. Korngold made a similar mistake in "Robin Hood", so Waxmann is in good company.
