4. Jung's wife wasn't given that much credit in the film

She seemed to be one of those loyal spouses who did the donkey work for DH. Mrs. Tolstoy was another: I'd love to see a film about that woman! IMHO, she must have been a saint to put up with Leo, let alone write out the manuscript of War and Peace several times! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alexandra-popoff/sophia-tolstoy-not-the-wo_b_576632.html. In return she was vilified.

I agree, the male eye candy wasn't bad either. And the scene where Freud and Jung are discussing sex at the dinner table, while Freud's prim and proper looking daughters are smiling in secret delight? Priceless!

I wish he hadn't set a decent understanding of sexual physiology back a hundred years by promoting the vaginal orgasm, though. He should have just asked them!
