About this product

Product Information

This legendary dramatization of the relationship between Queen Elizabeth I of England and the Duke of Essex is a spectacle of costume and melodrama, almost as famous today for the offscreen battles as the onscreen fireworks. Bette Davis (OF HUMAN BONDAGE, ALL ABOUT EVE) shines in the role of Elizabeth, while Essex is played by the swashbuckling Errol Flynn (ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN, IN THE WAKE OF THE BOUNTY). Davis was infamously disapproving of her costar's "unprofessional" attitude, while he found her to be insufferably self-important. Nonetheless, the picture is stunning and the tale is timeless--a tragedy of epic proportions. Elizabeth is an aging queen in love with the Earl, but when he sinks the Spanish Armada and squanders ships and loot needed by England, she replaces him with his rival, Sir Walter Raleigh (Vincent Price, HOUSE OF WAX, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS). Essex is furious and retreats to his family's estate, and the Queen must coax him back to court. Their relationship is fraught by sabotage from all sides, and through the intervention of Essex's enemies the two are turned against one another. In the end the Queen is forced to choose between her country and her love for a man whose ambition could be the ruin of a nation.

BetteDavis, Errol Flynn, what a classic Hollywood duo!
I've been wanting this movie for years & I wasn't disappointed! The great Bette Davis as Elizabeth 1st, well, she nailed it! Perfectly! And as Essex, Errol Flynn! Was perfect! Then toss in Vincent Price, Donald Crisp, and others and a great iconic classic is what you have! It is in Technicolor, and is as good as any color film today. It is a full out Hollywood 1939 glitz glamour and splendor in set design and costume. All others on the subject since can't touch it!

Elizabeth & Essex Have a Volcanic Courtship
First of all, this is the only Bette Davis movie before 1975 that was filmed in color that I know of. She was young when it was made (1939) but she is made up to look like an older Queen Elizabeth I--completely powdered face, eyebrows plucked, and hair dyed red in little short curls. The point of all this is that she was probably miscast. The idea of the movie is that an older queen is desperate to find a suitable husband, and Essex (a very virile Errol Flynn at the top of his popularity) seems like the one--only he is so much younger and she cannot trust him. Yet sometimes she does trust him. When the movie opens, Essex has just returned from a triumphant sea battle against the Spanish at Cadiz. But instead of being proud of him and grateful, she spurns him for Sir Walter Raleigh ... First of all, this is the only Bette Davis movie before 1975 that was filmed in color that I know of.

The idea of the movie is that an older queen is desperate to find a suitable husband, and Essex (a very virile Errol Flynn at the top of his popularity) seems like the one--only he is so much younger and she cannot trust him. Yet sometimes she does trust him. When the movie opens, Essex has just returned from a triumphant sea battle against the Spanish at Cadiz. But instead of being proud of him and grateful, she spurns him for Sir Walter Raleigh (Vincent Price) because the English people seem to like Essex better than the Queen. Then, the next thing you know, Elizabeth is summoning Essex from his home, and they are madly in love again. Next, he goes to a battle in Ireland; although the two communicate by letter, the letters are intercepted by Penelope (Olivia de Havilland), Elizabeth's lady in waiting. Elizabeth and Essex are thus furious with each other because no letters are arriving and no supplies are arriving for the troops. This movie is a serious battle between two wills. It is based on a play by Maxwell Anderson called "Elizabeth the Queen" and is based on the relationship between the two, although it is not actually the way it was. One thing that Bette conveys well is the desperation of the Queen for a husband, and yet she has the determination to be the most important of the couple. This movie was nominated for 5 Academy Awards in the year that "Gone With the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz," "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," and so many others were competing. It is amazing that it was nominated for so many with that competition. The awards were for Cinematography, Music Scoring, Art Direction, Special Effects, and Sound Recording. This is a must-see for any Bette Davis fan like me. But "Now Voyager", "Dead Ringer," and "The Letter" are far superior movies.

The Queen Reigns Supreme
Bette Davis was an excellent Queen Elizabeth I in both this and The Virgin Queen. She really took on character aspects of Henry VIII in mannerisms like the flickering fingers & the way she walked, sat, coupled with tempestuous rage(as in breaking all her mirrors) which she contrasted markedly throughout with calm adoration for her beloved Essex. When they laughed together it showed the true intimacy they shared. Errol Flynn--well, of course, he's ERROL FLYNN--he's Robin Hood! And he made a perfect Essex, though Bette wanted Laurence Olivier to play the part, and considering she wasn't real fond of Flynn, you sure couldn't tell it in the love scenes (though the feisty arguing ones showed Bette's ire toward him probably more than just acting). Filmed in 1939 in technicolor, it has some fuzzy ... Bette Davis was an excellent Queen Elizabeth I in both this and The Virgin Queen.

Filmed in 1939 in technicolor, it has some fuzzy color blurring in background crowd scenes in the beginning, but that's no biggy & it quickly smoothed out as the film began. Figure it's such an old film to transfer to dvd & make allowances. Modern Elizabeths like Cate Blanchette are good, but noone can match Bette Davis in the role. Her costumes were divine, as were those of her ladies-in-waiting. And the jewels on the young Penelope played by Olivia de Haviland! Wow! And that is a newcomer Nanette Fabray (from Elvis movies? later TV roles?)playing piano & entreating the Queen to send her beau back home from the war in Ireland. Also Vincent Price in tights as Sir Walter Raleigh! Haha--no menacing scary movie Price going on here--more fawning, and not a very powerful persona as Raleigh. Also interesting was the court's attempt at saboutage to undo Essex & his favoritism with the Queen. I loved this classic film. It was originally going to be titled The Knight and The Lady, but Davis put a stop to that--the Queen gets top billing, thank you. I am glad it has been made available on dvd so that I have it now in my collection & as far as I know, this was the only Seller who offered it. Good price too!

when hollywood knew how to make true adventure films!
This film is a classic example of movie making in the heyday of Hollywood! It doesn't rely on computer generated special effects. It has real quality acting with interesting dialog. If you are an Errol Flynn fan, you must see this movie!
