While much of the film's representation of Martin Ginsburg is faithful—he was the better cook, with a cookbook that was published posthumously; he was the one who brought the seemingly arcane tax case to his wife, recognizing its potential as a gender discrimination case; he was excellent at charades (the film is as much a love letter from Stiepleman to his Uncle Marty, a man he used to tell people he wanted to be like when he grew up) as it is to his Aunt Ruth)—there was one aspect of Hammer's portrayal of him that struck Ginsburg. "I commented when I first met Armie that he was rather taller than Marty," she joked at an NYC screening in December. "And his answer was, ‘And you are rather shorter than Felicity Jones.'" And the discovery of his testicular cancer? It came after he was involved in a car accident, as The New York Times explained in a 1993 profile on Ginsburg, and not after a collapse during a friendly round of charades.
