Surely, as a pedant, you should have said 'a few pedants' .... I think 'lots of' is over-stating your case somewhat.

What slightly annoys me about the 1978 version is that Robert Powell has a stupid 70's style bouffon. Why didn't he have a proper hair cut?

Because it was the 1970s

But the film is set in 1914.

I'm sure that the Donat version is probably technically the best, but for me it's the Kenneth More version every time. I think it's More himself - he always had a wonderfully laid-back, relaxed and natural way about him.
And if there's a scene in which he prods someone with his pipe, so much the better.
