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! This is the classic perfection of them all!

  • 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!

  • Betty Davis KO's Flynn in 15th round!

    Very 30's-ish historical drama. Scant on facts and heavy on mellow drama. Flynn plays and outstanding Flynn. He is at his best, costumes were outstanding, sets were outstanding and knowing that Betty Davis HATED Errol Flynn in real life.....made this picture even better. Her last scene was the best!
