How most people think of and treat Elizabeth for the rest of her life will depend on the impression they get from the made for TV movies. That is a sad comentary on people but true.
They would be negligent not to try to make the impression favorable. This is one of the unfortunate but unavoidable parts of living in a media world.

I'd much rather see a film about the episode tell the truth than see one trying to make a "favorable impression." One made by objective interests will be a lot more interesting than one concocted by the Smarts.
