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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Scottish "means to an end" does not disappoint
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit more than I was prepared to. In this day and age, when watching a dated film - you generally prepare yourself for dated costume, overdramatic acting, and slightly cheesy portrayls of characters. Not so in any way, with this movie!

With the vivd storyline of Mary's life to be told - the enjoyable main purpose of the film is to show A)Mary's love life affecting her reign and B)Her power struggle with Elizabeth. Both Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Grateful to be a commoner
Having recently returned from London I wanted to better understand some of English history. These movies are well done. I appreciate they are paired together like prequel and sequel. There is enough treachery in every day life without compounding it to the millionth degree by being born into a royal family.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A movie classic of literary briliance
"Anne of the Thousand Days" is one of Hollywood's finest. Richard Burton is superb as Henry VIII. The movie is thought provoking and well acted. The final scene of Elizabeth headed down the garden lane with great determination is an historical statement one does not easdily forget.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great period pieces
If you like period pieces, you are going to love these two movies. I had not seen these movies before and I very much enjoyed them. Both are beautifully done with very good acting.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie
Enjoyed Mary Queen of Scots have yet to see Anne of a Thousand Days, but look forward to seeing it. Wonderful together and a great deal.
