Movie Reviews of Lady Jane
Movie Review: Lady Jane
Summary: 4 Stars
Lady Jane, aside from the touching love story which no historian could realistically capture, appeared to be an accurate account of the girl who was manipulated into becoming one of the queens of England. It was well acted and entertaining and free from the usual phoniness of the movie industry.
Summary of Lady Jane
Teen-age lady jane grey rules england briefly with lusty lord dudley in the royal confusion of 1553. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/30/2003 Starring: Helena Bonham Carter John Wood Run time: 142 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Trevor Nunn"I foresee a glittering future for your daughter," the conspiratorial Duke of Northumberland insidiously whispers to the mother of Lady Jane Grey, the woman who would be England's queen, albeit for only nine days. The same could be said for Helena Bonham Carter, who, in her screen debut, carries this historical drama with aplomb. Jane, a principled and precocious 15-year-old (she reads Plato in Greek) was a pawn in a plot to maintain Protestant rule in the wake of young King Edward's death. A dashing Cary Elwes, anticipating his swashbuckling role in The Princess Bride, costars as Northumberland's feckless, wastrel son, Guilford, whose arranged marriage to Jane unexpectedly blossoms into love and rebellion. Anglophiles will bask in this impeccably mounted production (featuring Patrick Stewart as Jane's bullying father), but swooning teens, too, may embrace these young lovers as did the youths who made Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo & Juliet a box-office smash in its day. --Donald Liebenson
