Identity Error

Kevin Thomas’ review of “The Theory of Flight” contains a factual error (“ ‘Theory’ Takes Flight in Its Search for Love,” Dec. 23). Gemma Jones, known to many from “Masterpiece Theatre’s” “The Duchess of Duke Street,” doesn’t play Kenneth Branagh’s girlfriend but rather Helena Bonham Carter’s mother. The girlfriend was played by Holly Aird.

Had Jones been Branagh’s girlfriend, I think we would have had an entirely different story.
