British history, Hollywood-style
THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX is a colourful Hollywood re-telling of the turbulent affair between Queen Elizabeth I and her prime courtier, the Earl of Essex. This is a lavish production, shot in glorious Technicolor, boasting some of Hollywood’s biggest names and impressing on the sheer scale of things, if not the authenticity.

Indeed, once you see the swamp sets that stand in for a backward Ireland, you’ll be laughing like I did. But overall this is a film that it’s hard to dislike. You get Bette Davis, a natural fit for the part, at her waspish best, and Errol Flynn at his rakish prime. There’s the requisite romance, action, and tragedy to keep the running time flying past. The film also has an unusually high propensity of future stars in its supporting cast: Vincent Price is here, as well as Leo G. Carroll, Alan Hale, the lovely Olivia de Havilland, and the eternally scheming Henry Daniell. This is the sort of film where you leave your brain at the door and allow yourself to get caught up in the lavish spectacle of it all.
