Movie Reviews of Days of Majesty / Queen Elizabeth II
Movie Review: MAGNIFICENT DIGITAL RESTORATION OF THE CORONATION
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this DVD as a gift and it was very well appeciated by me. The footage of the coronation rehearsals with the Duchess of Norfolk are amazing - surely some of the most extraordinary footage ever filmed. The Duchess of Norfolk of the time did not convert to Catholicism therefore she could stand in for The Queen.
See also the book "Coronation June 2 1953" by Conrad Frost (ISBN 0 213 16674 7) for a COMPLETE background to the lead-up, rehearsals, snafus, and "insider" revelations attendant upon the greatest coronation we are going to see in our lifetimes.
I found the reviews by the other two reviewers to be superficial and to review such an important DVD in one sentence just reeks of laziness and superciliousness. Surely that reviewer had more to say - but then maybe he did not.
This is an astounding DVD and has such chapter headings as: The Trial of the Pyx; Swan Upping; Lord Lieutenants; The Royal Standard; The Royal Maundy Service; Colour Drills; The Royal Company of Archers; etc., etc.
It is a treasure-trove for gleaners of royal trivia and admirers of the House of Mountbatten-Windsor alike.
Highly recommended to all monarchist and lovers of pomp and pageantry.
