The Anonymous Widower

The Austin Maxi That Didn’t Get Into The Film

The Sunday Times yesterday told the true story of Argo yesterday and like so many other American films, the role of Brits, Canadians and New Zealanders have been cut out.  It would appear from the paper that the British Ambassador in Iran at the time; John Graham,  is not amused. It would appear that one of the heroes was the orange Austin Maxi, used to ferry the American diplomats about.

It may not be very sexy, but it’s true.

So I can cut Argo off my list of films to see, as I don’t watch films where the truth is bent for American self-gratification.
