Hugo Vickers, the royal advisor on the film in what I just researched said there were some historical inaccuracies, but the essence of the film is very sound.

There are historic inaccuracies, so I stand partially corrected. But I don't think the film distorted a sense of the era or the historic context.

It depends on what the focus is. In this case it appears that LBJ was turned into a foil to illustrate other themes. It’s a very common dramatic device. I love ‘Amadeus’ but it really is a slander of Antonio Salieri - who was apparently a very decent and charitable man.
