We dealt with this in the MYSTERIES AND SCANDALS show I did for E some years ago.
As Al Abrams said, Florence deserves better than that. Mary Wilson was most accurate when she said, and I quote, "Many people are responsible for what happened to Flo. Flo herself is responsible. It is not something I can answer in simple yes and no questions."
Most of all I can say Florence did not die with bitterness toward Mary or Diana.
I do not plan to have any further involvment with the movie. I have a strong feeling there will be legalities and I am glad that SOME company SOMEWHERE is willing to risk this in order to tell Flo's story.
