 To look as much as possible like the real Lord Longford,  Jim Broadbent (qv) wore a prosthetic nose and chin that took two  hours to apply each day. A prison guard who had known the real Lord  Longford was once very startled when Broadbent entered the prison  door in costume. To make himself walk very slowly and lamely when  Longford sees Myra Hindley for the last time in the movie (when the  character is 92 years old), Broadbent put small, painful stones  inside his shoes.
