This was the name that the film was released with in Germany and was also the original name of the film (in script form) before changing to Made In Dagenham (please refer to the 07/01/11 episode of Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Reviews on BBC Radio Five Live) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.218.110.168 (talk) 20:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Historical inaccuracies? edit

Just wondering, is this not a bit strong a phrase to use for the non-factual elements of the film? Inaccuracies (in my opinion) due to it connotations is usually reserved for when the film purports to be accurate, which this film doesn't - it is supposed to be a dramatisation and therefore isn't expected to be factually accurate. - Estoy Aquí (talk) 14:03, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Plus, the film makes clear the women worked at the River Plant in numerous ways, including the dialogue, not just the signs. It may well have been separate from the Dagenham assembly line, but it was certainly at Dagenham geographically, so the expression of this particular reservation is a bit strong. The strikers were invariably referred to at the time as the Dagenham women. I suspect the writer has not understood the pun in the film title. Sjwells53 (talk) 18:29, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Is it really relevant to say 'schools now use whiteboards'? Whilst this may on the whole be true, it adds little to the article. --212.219.156.237 (talk) 22:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
The film is set in June 1968, but Sandra's photoshoot is for the launch of the Ford Cortina Mark 2 which occurred in October 1966. Some of the cars depicted on the assembly lines are Ford Cortina Mark 1, which went out of production in 1966. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:55, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
