How can one show Eliot without showing Pound?

For all that the performances are good, the thing that kept bugging me throughout was, How can you do a movie about T.S. Eliot during these years without also showing Ezra Pound? Pound was Eliot's best friend -- the man who discovered Eliot as a poet and tirelessly promoted Eliot far and wide. "The Waste Land," perhaps Eliot's most famous poem, has a facsimile edition of the manuscript one can buy, and Pound's annotations are all over it. They were in many ways a literary team.

The only thing I can speculate is the role of Viv. That is, if you let Pound in as a character, he would end up being a major, major role, and the whole point of both the play and the movie is how unappreciated Viv has been in the standard biography of Eliot's life and work. In order to play up Viv, one has to play down Ezra.

In a movie that's willing to show historical "name" characters like Bertrand Russell and Virginia Woolf, though, the huge gaping whole in the story where Pound should be kept distracting me.
