My mistake - I thought it was earlier. Just checked and Svengali was filmed in early 2012 with Edinburgh Festival and DVD release in 2013, and cinema release in 2014.

Anyway, as someone in a long-term state of blissful sinfulness - unmarried but together for 33 years come New Years Eve - I just don't get the big deal with co-habiting partners who decide to get married. In my experience (and of friends who have decided to get married after decades together) it is nothing to do with greater commitment or love - that is there already. It is often something to do with a big party and (more recently) pension security.
