As Mother? It's Jenny Agutter/Railway Children all over again!
Not sure about filming WDMTGTS. You'd need to replicate a F6 gale around Nancy/Goblin, and have cameras all around. Not very easy whether on the real sea, or inside a studio with 'blue screen' technology.
The new film got me thinking about how much AR hated the first B&W S&A film in the 60s, and how he didn't like TV in general at all. I wonder if he ever went to the cinema though? I can't recall any mention of such activities in the various biographical books...
