Movie Reviews of Elizabeth R
Movie Review: Glenda's Glorious Gloriana
Summary: 5 Stars
This magnificent series was first televised on American television via Masterpiece Theater. Glenda Jackson gave the definitive performance as Elizabeth I, Queen of England. Motion pictures on the Elizabethan Age starring Cate Blanchard and Bette Davis were quite remarkable, but did not fully measure up to the excellence of this production.
Among an outstanding and noteworthy supporting cast in "Elizabeth R" was Robert Hardy, who played Robert Dudley, the only man Elizabeth really loved. This Dudley and Elizabeth were two passionate, strong-willed individuals who lived amidst a court of political ambition and intrigue. The chemistry between their characters was and still is fascinating because here truly was a woman torn between two great loves: a man and the people of England whom she faithfully served as well as ruled.

Glenda Jackson is majestic in the six-video miniseries from the BBC, Elizabeth R. Covering the entire reign of Elizabeth I, from her struggles with her half-sister Mary just before being crowned as queen to her death in 1603, the series profiles the life of the Virgin Queen in detail--and with historical accuracy--not possible in the as beautiful, but much shorter, theatrical release, Elizabeth. Religious conflicts, her struggle over the execution of her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, battles with Spain, court politics, and of course her flirtations with Robert Dudley (portrayed as an almost-comical fop by Robert Hardy) and her decision to remain unmarried are just some of the highlights of this magnificently costumed and finely acted piece. Jackson skillfully captures the capricious moods and incredible intellect of the queen who defied the pope and the conventions of the time as a strong-willed woman, and characters from textbooks--Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, King Phillip II--come vividly to life. Elizabeth R (and for those not in the know, the "R" is for "Regina") is a splendid melding of history and entertainment, and as thorough as this series is, you will still long for more. --Jenny Brown
