Review of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) by Darryl C — 06 Nov 2008
1939's version of elizabeth I and her torrid affair with the earl of essex is as fanciful as kapur's 1998 take on elizabeth's early life. but it's just as fun to watch with bette davis stamping, slashing and swatting her way through the role, flynn looking gorgeous and providing subtle counterpoint to davis' tempest and olivia de havilland in solid support.
