First Class historical Drama
by Caledonia Twin #12001-01-25
10/10

"Despite historical inaccuracies necessarily prevalent in historical dramas (i.e. not documentaries), this film is exquisitely conceived, written, directed, and performed. In my opinion, it is perhaps one of the best historical dramas ever produced, and both Bujold and Burton are remarkable. It's a pity that this film is not more widely known. I highly recommend it...."

💡 Did You Know?

Dame Elizabeth Taylor was present at the shooting of the final Tower of London scene, out of fear that her husband, Richard Burton, and his co-star, Geneviève Bujold, were having an affair. Before she began filming the scene, a furious Bujold told director Charles Jarrott, "I'm going to give that bitch an acting lesson she'll never forget!"
