** Also the opening segment depicts the Greenberry Hill scenario wrong: The story may have appearded in a 1911 newspaper article (as told so by the narrator), but the actual murder of Sir Godfrey and the subsequent executions of the delinquents happened back in 1678. Yet the presentation with a fake newsreel strongly implies that the events took place in or around 1911.
