Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots description
As 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

Don't Base Your History Paper on This One

The three stars are for "Mary Queen of Scots" not "Anne of the Thousand Days". The film makers really played fast and loose with history on this one. The most flagrant rewrites of history are the meetings between Mary and Elizabeth. Never happened. The two never met in person. There are other historical inaccuracies too numerous to mention. But I guess that's what's called dramatic license. However, the DVD is fun to watch it you don't take it too seriously.
On the up side, Vanessa Redgrave is THE Mary Queen of Scots. Perfect role for her. And, of course, it's pretty much a given by now that Glenda Jackson is the quintessential Elizabeth I. Timothy Dalton was good, too, as the [...], whiny, vacillating, selfish, self-serving, backstabbing, self-important Darnley. And I always love the costumes and scenery in these historical movies.
