When the film was made in 1970, the public still widely believed that the British government had refused to accept the Romanovs. The truth emerged in 1983; the British government had reluctantly agreed to accept the family in March 1917, but King George V pressured the government to withdraw its offer of asylum the following month, concerned it could spark civil unrest in the UK. France also declined to accept the family, and only Kaiser Wilhelm II tried to help the Romaovs after the October Revolution.
