Summary: "Elizabeth I"
Comment: Excellent, absolutely excellent. Helen Mirren's portrait of Elizabeth Tudor from age 43 to her death at 69 is as deep and nuanced a performance as I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few actresses do Good Queen Bess (Glenda Jackson, Judi Dench, Bette Davis, et. al). Jeremy Irons is fantastic as Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Hugh Dancy is impressive as Leicester's stepson Robert Devereaux, Earl of Essex, though for me it was a bit hard to accept a twentysomething Devereaux flirting with a fiftysomething Elizabeth near the start of the story and later attempting sex with her after Leicester's death. Elizabeth in later life was so unattractive that I don't think the real-life Devereaux would have tried either approach. The costumes and the sets are as close to authenic as they can possibly get. One humorous note, though. At the start of the film, when several characters are in a hallway, look closely at the candle behind them in a wall niche; it's actually an electric light with a yellow, flamed-shaped bulb!

Summary: Not historically accurate but Mirren is worth watching
Comment: Misleading if you need something for a history write-up. But Mirren is the definitive Elizabeth T. I enjoyed this DVD.

Summary: Elisabeth I, two-part movie
Comment: Helen Mirren was outstanding. Part one was a very different interpretation of the time period compared to the recently released "Elisabeth - the golden age." Just another example of how differently history can be interpreted! The cast was excellent, wardrobe and scenery made the movie very believable.

Comment: I buy some movies for a woman who does not have a computer nor a credit or debit card, so I have no idea what this movie is about, and do not care.
