Mary Queen of Scots
In 1561, Mary Stuart, widow of the King of France, returns to Scotland, reclaims her rightful throne and menaces the future of Queen Elizabeth I as ruler of England, because she has a legitimate claim to the English throne. Betrayals, rebellions, conspiracies and their own life choices imperil both Queens. They experience the bitter cost of power, until their tragic fate is finally fulfilled. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Watching the 1971 film of Mary Queen of Scots. It’s all a bit ‘Carry On’. A 30 yo Vanessa Redgrave is playing the 19 yo Mary. At least Glenda Jackson as QE1 is more age appropriate.

unlabelledView post →Watching Mary Queen of Scots on Netflix. Finding it hard to follow because we both keep going, "It's him, out of that thing!" It is the most "It's him, out of that thing!" film I've ever seen.

unlabelledView post →Sadly The Loves of Mary Queen of Scots, a 1923 silent film is lost. As a result this scene, where Mary shows Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy to courtiers dubious about female rule can only be imagined. Oddly it didn’t appear in later depictions of Mary #womenwhoruledtheworld
unlabelledView post →I'm obsessed with the sky & have way too many cloud, sunset, sunrise, & storm pictures. When I find a movie, show, or song that I love, I'll rewatch or relisten to it hundreds of times. I love history. Especially American Revolution & Mary, Queen of Scots history. Different worlds, same planet.

unlabelledView post →Antonia Clarke is one of the most venomous Mary Queen Of Scots I've ever seen on film or tv, in The Serpent Queen. She is pure poison. #MaryQueenOfScots #History
unlabelledView post →Re-watched The Quiller Memorandum on TV yesterday. Very atmospheric opening sequence, and perfect soundtrack from John Barry. What a wonderful composer he was for film, so many of my favourite scores: Lion in Winter, Mary Queen of Scots, Man for All Seasons, Zulu, and all those Bonds 😍
unlabelledView post →We watched Mary, Queen of Scots (2018), starring Saoirse Ronan, with Margot Robbie as Elizabeth I. Couldn't help thinking that Robbie could have brought some of the crazy the role of Mary needed, and Ronan could have been the haughty, stiff and oddly weak Queen Bess, as the movie has her portrayed.
unlabelledView post →I keep trying to watch the 2018 Mary Queen of Scots movie, because Ronan and Robbie are both spectacular, but I keep getting too angry by all the loser men around both of them making it hard for them to girlboss

It’s also 11 seconds long. Episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

A military stronghold for many centuries, it was to here that Mary, Queen of Scots was heading after her escape from Lochleven Castle in 1568 when she was intercepted by the Earl of Moray and was forced to fight the Battle of Langside (now on the Southside of Glasgow).

unlabelledView post →Reminds me of recent film on Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots meeting through veils!
unlabelledView post →At least that happened at the end of the film. I watched the first few minutes of Mary Queen Of Scots last night and turned it off and deleted it from my list because the actress spoke with a Scots accent instead of a French one. (Yes, I'm on the spectrum.)
unlabelledView post →Revisiting the 1971 film Mary, Queen of Scots brings to mind the many portrayals of Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots in cinema. This raises the question: which actors have delivered the most memorable performances of these two iconic queens?
unlabelledView post →As a child I was obsessed with the then TV staple Mary, Queen of Scots, in large part I suspect because she and Glenda were doing such capital-A movie-star Acting. My only chance to see her onstage was Vita and Virginia, a vehicle best described as “slight.” Still… she was wondrous.

unlabelledView post →Nr 5.: Mary Queen of Scots (2018 film) Not a big history nerd, nor very familiar with Mary Stuart's history of cinematic adaptations. Had to read Schiller's drama about her in school. Just whelmed by this film. Saoirse Ronan is acting a lot and that's always cool.
unlabelledView post →The 1971 Mary Queen of Scots film is so dull. It's only a little interesting because I know relatively little about the Stuarts.

unlabelledView post →Pretty decent film. Both Burton and Bujold deserved their Oscar noms. Luscious sets and costumes. The success of the film inspired the making of another period costume drama "MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS". Well worth a view or two.

This stone supposedly marks the spot where Mary Queen of Scots watched the Battle of Langside in 1568, where her army was soundly beaten. However, it seems unlikely that this was the actual spot from where she watched the battle as it was close to Cathcart Castle, which was held by a supporter of her opponent, James Stewart, Earl of Moray. #glasgow #glasgowhistory #maryqueenofscots #cathcart
unlabelledView post →Yeah I know lol. Just made me think of that movie.😂🤣 I loved that series called THE TUDORS. Have you seen REIGN? That one is about France and Scotland, and the relationship between Francis and Mary Queen of Scots. It was so good, I watched it twice. Well I didn’t finish it the second time yet.

Also it's really difficult seeing David Tennant as an utter bastard.)
unlabelledView post →Today I watched Mary Queen of Scots and I think that between Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson, Jackson gave the better performance, so I was surprised when I read Redgrave was the one who was nominated but it turns out that Jackson was also nominated that year, but for another film.
