Product Description:
Bette Davis and Errol Flynn made The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex fascinatingly public striking sparks in this lavish Technicolor tale of the ill-fated love between the aging Elizabeth I and the dashing Earl of Essex. Thoroughly unglamorous here - eyes and hairline shaved face painted chalky white - double Academy AwardO winner* Davis exudes such intelligence energy and ardor that her romance with the decades-younger Essex (Flynn at the peak of his remarkable good looks and athletic verve) is completely believable. Based on Maxwell Anderson's play Elizabeth the Queen and directed by Michael Curtiz this nominee for five OscarsO** takes liberties with historical accuracy but none with dramatic impact. Long may these tempestuous titled lovers reign!Running Time: 106 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSIC UPC: 012569522824

This is a must-have if you admire Bette Davis. Here, she plays The Virgin Queen Herself in a no holds barred,dazzling performance. Is she over the top? Yes, but then the same was aid about Good Queen Bess herself.

I couldn't disagree more "epinions" critic's commentary. Here's why Davis' (1939) performance of a historically film favorite Queen, Elizabeth I, is one of her best. 1st, Davis was 31yo & portrays a much older HRH. 2nd, Davis contends with an extremely sexist & notoriously uncooperative leading 'man' personality who never claimed to be a great actor: 30yo arrogating, egotistical stud, Errol Flynn (who also never won a major acting award & received 2 "Sour Apple" slam-awards for "Least Cooperative ...

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex This has to be perceived as one of Bette Davis' lesser efforts, especially when compared to her performance as the same character in the now available DVD release of "The Virgin Queen" which she did when she was closer in age to Queen Elizabeth. Also Davis' costar in "The Virgin Queen", Richard Todd, is more appropriate because his level of skill as an actor surpasses that of Errol Flynn in this disaster. Whereas Flynn portrays the Earl of Essex, Todd portrays ... Read More

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex may have been the set from hell - Bette Davis despised Errol Flynn, who hated director Michael Curtiz while Olivia De Havilland was given a thankless supporting role as Jack Warner's way of keeping her in her place after the success of Gone With the Wind - but it turned out rather splendidly. Offering Hollywood rather than history, and with all the glories that only the studio system at its peak could offer, it's grand entertainment. Glorious Technicolor cinematography ... Read More

As before, There is no one like Bette Davis, and this movie proves it. No other women in Hollywood at the time of the making of this picture would have gone out on the limb that Miss Davis did - That is why this picture is so good. Errol Flynn, always a feast to look at, is extremely up to the task of going toe to toe with Bette Davis as Queen Elizabeth I, Mr. Flynn, possibly was better than even he thought he could be - and this movie proves it -
