Review of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) by Carlos M — 21 Jul 2016
A film that basically relies on exchanges of fine dialogue. The war scenes are now dated and the final act is very weak, with the characters saying one thing only to contradict themselves and keep the plot moving, but Davis raises the movie from ordinary to enjoyable.
