Mary, Queen of Scots
Movie Information
In Brief: Well, it does boast two of the greatest — possibly the greatest — actresses of 1960s and ’70s British film in Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson, but let's be honest, this is a thoroughly respectable British prestige picture from the folks who brought you the even more respectable Anne of a Thousand Days (1969). While Mary, Queen of Scots (1971) is decidedly more lively — and better acted — it's still the kind of picture you think it is. And you know it ends badly. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke originally published on Nov. 5, 2013.
