Unfolding Florence differences and additions[edit]

I have just seen the film Unfolding Florence, which disagrees with this article on the following points:
• The article says "She returned to Queensland in 1927, after her voice was damaged in a car accident." The film says that the car accident occurred in Mount Perry, following her return to Queensland, while driving her father's new car. It went on to say that she continued to suffer problems due to the accident (such as headaches and an effect on her voice) when she went to England, and that she was hospitalised there because the Mount Perry hospital had left a piece of bone embedded in her brain. The presentation of this information in the film suggested it was taken from one of Florence's letters.
• The article says "She returned to Sydney and was murdered in her Paddington home in 1977." The film says that she was murdered in her Sydney (Paddington?) wallpaper factory.

The film also makes some points not covered in the article:
• It says that it is believed (including by her son, who speaks of her murder in the film) that she must have known her killer well, as she had made two cups of tea (the implication being that one was for her and the other for a guest); that the (undisclosed - a piece of wood?) murder weapon was in a vat(?) in a back room of the factory and its presence would have been known to few; and that the killer let him or herself out through a back door using a key, the location of which was known to few. Because of these facts, several people in the film state that they may unknowingly know the killer.
• The film speaks of murky financial dealings by and with solicitors(?) Newman McKay(?) who, it is alleged, duped elderly widows, including friends of Florence and Florence herself, out of large sums of money; and suggests that she may have confronted one of these men on the day of her murder.
• Other suggestions as to the possible identity of the killer from people interviewed in the film include disgruntled former employees; and business competitors; although no other names are mentioned. The film does not mention John Wayne Glover as the possible murderer.

I would not feel confident editing this article on the basis of the film unless I had a copy of I could view as I wrote to check my memory; perhaps someone else has access to a copy of the film and can do this.

Too much on the wallpapers?[edit]

This section is sounding like a commercial free plug. It needs shortening, and including within the main story. Valetude (talk) 15:35, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Biography - inconsistency and redundancy concerning the second husband[edit]

"In the late 1950s Lloyd-Lewis left her for a woman younger than their own son. [...] Her husband left her and their son in 1961." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810D:840:7C00:D971:D007:E756:E5AE (talk) 00:23, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
