Movie Reviews of Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots
Movie Review: Very entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
The recent interest in the Tudors had me go back to see this classic, a wonderful performance by Vanessa Redgrave in the title role, with Glenda Jackson, Elizabeth I the rival queen, Timonty Dalton, her second husband, Patrick McGoohan, her scheming illegitimate brother, Nigel Davenport as the blunt Bothwell, her third husband, and a host of other British acting talent. Mary was misguided and not always the nicest person, but the performance is truly stunning. Great stuff!
Anne of A Thousand Days, a great performance by both leads, especially Burton, an you can see wher the Tudors staff got their ideas from with this film. She is a bit less than fascinating her and far more manipulative than they give her credit for in the miniseries, and the film does not explain why they went 'off the boil' so quickly, but Burton was a titan and the dialogue is very racy and compelling for a movie of the time.
Summary of Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots
Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/18/2007As costume dramas go, this is a passionate and feisty one, keyed by the ever-luminous Vanessa Redgrave in the title role and the sharp-edged Glenda Jackson as her jealous cousin, Queen Elizabeth?I (who knew a thing or two about palace intrigue). Mary, who was raised in France as a Catholic, claims the Scottish crown from her mother upon her death. But she runs up against religious prejudice, both from the Protestant Elizabeth (who had encountered anti-Protestant bias before she took the throne) and from Mary's Protestant half-brother James Stuart (Patrick McGoohan). Elizabeth, whose own reign is shaky (given a strong Catholic presence in her country), is nervous about her Catholic cousin--and made more so by Mary's seeming inability to appreciate the political niceties of the period. Redgrave received an Oscar nomination for her performance. --Marshall Fine
