Elizabeth I on DVD

“Elizabeth I” Plot:
Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth I could almost be cousin to her Jane Tennison. Like the dedicated detective chief inspector, Queen Bess is not without a heart, but work comes first and any romantic entanglements are doomed to fail. Fortunately, she has her friendships. Directed by Tom Hooper (Prime Suspect 6), this two-part HBO/Channel 4 tele-film begins in 1579. The Virgin Queen has been on the throne for 20 years, but has not married. Her closest relationship is with Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester (Jeremy Irons), whom the council will not allow her to wed. Because Robert wishes to produce an heir, he marries another, garnering Elizabeth’s disfavor (and nor is he all that thrilled about her dalliance with Henry, the Duke of Anjou). In time, he’ll return to her good graces. As she explains, “Friendship outlasts love and is stronger than love.” Then, as his health begins to fails, she’ll turn to his stepson, the dashing, if duplicitous Robert Devereaux, the Earl of Essex (Hugh Dancy, the Hooper-directed Daniel Deronda). Meanwhile, Mary, Queen of Scots (Barbara Flynn) plots against her Protestant cousin. Even after Mary makes her exit, plenty of other powerful Catholics will stop at nothing to seize the crown. Marked as much by triumph as tragedy, the role of Elizabeth I has been catnip for many illustrious actresses, notably Bette Davis, Glenda Jackson, and Cate Blanchett. Mirren’s multi-faceted portrayal of the queen’s golden years is a worthy addition to that canon and Irons is a particularly formidable foil.

Tom Hooper

Helen Mirren, Hugh Dancy, Jeremy Irons.

    Were Freddy alive, Queen Elizabeth II would bestow a knighthood upon Freddy & Queen, turning them into veritable lap puppies. (Queen Elizabeth I would throw them in The Tower and that would be that.)

    Freddy Mercury & Queen VERSUS Queen Elizabeth — who’d win in a fair fight? ….The Queen because anyone who knows what a “Groom Of The Stool” is and would let someone do that to them? Is one cold blooded retardico!

    Freddie & Queen (Brian, Roger, John) would win because it would be four against one (Queen Elizabeth I). However, if Elizabeth was allowed to bring her army and navy along, then it would be a toss-up.

    Will silliness & absurdity never cease? Does iNetVideo have a time machine to resurrect both dead people for the battle of the ages? If so does Queen Elizabeth the 1st get to use all of her armies & the navy against a mere set of glam rockers? Then she wins. End of story.

    One queen is made up of one single woman. The other Queen is made up of three men plus the awesome Freddie Mercury. How could they possibly lose?
