Although nitpicking a film like this one is silly, it is fun to note that, considering Mata Hari was executed in 1917, Mata Bond would have to be at least 50 years old at the time of the film. Only 7 years younger than her "father" (David Niven).
shareMata Hari was born in 1876, she was 41 when executed.
Nothing about this film was meant to be taken seriously.
Early on it's mentioned Sir James had been awarded a Victoria Cross medal in the Siege of Mafeking, which took place in 1899-1900, putting him somewhere in his 80s at least, so, yeah.
