A resplendent historical tale of ambition and betrayal, Mary Queen of Scots captures the intense rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I (Academy Award® winner Glenda Jackson, Women in Love) and Mary Stuart of Scotland (Academy Award® winner Vanessa Redgrave, Julia).
Facing many challenges during her reign, Mary must deal with her half-brother James Stuart (Patrick McGoohan, Danger Man) and his ambitions to rule Scotland. She is also backed into a corner when Elizabeth sends two suitors to distract her from her royal duties - Robert Dudley (Daniel Massey) and Lord Darnley (Timothy Dalton, The Living Daylights). Seeking advice from charming Italian courtier David Riccio (Ian Holm , The Lord of The Rings Trilogy), Mary finds herself in peril as the formidable sound of rebellion echos across the highlands.
Produced by Hal Wallis and directed by Charles Jarrot (Anne of the Thousand Days) and nominated for five Academy Awards®, Mary Queen of Scots is a classic drama about two remarkable women and the price they are prepared to pay for absolute power.

Both actresses are so great in this, especially Jackson; the (fictional) meeting scene between the two queens is incredible.
What a cast! Only Hal Wallis could have pulled it off as he did in this classic.
This film needs a blu ray release with isolated John Barry Score.
I fell in love with Vanessa Redgrave in this movie. Great movie

Do you really think that anybody cares who you fell in love with?
Fantastic movie to watch from start to finish brilliant script and a fantastic cast Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson were fantastic and brilliant as the queen's also great costume as well Vanessa Redgrave should got a Oscar for her performance for best actress and Glenda Jackson should got one as well for best actress as well in my opinion I would give these two brilliant actress a Oscar each there performance was outstanding and brilliant also fantastic
So sad to hear about Ian Holm a fine actor farewell DAVID ( THE LITTLE ITALIAN) Xxx
I can't wait to see this film! This looks really exciting!
A hell of a good film!
GOD, do I wish that this film had a script worthy of its subject! If EVER two women were physically suited to play Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, it was Glenda Jackson and Vanessa Redgrave. (The real Mary Stuart was 5'11", which made the tall Redgrave particularly well cast). Unfortunately, the screenplay is a mass of cliches, romantic syrup, and howling inaccuracies. Of the many great (and lost) opportunities for accurate and compelling drama, one of my favorites was an event that occurred only moments before Mary's death. As she approached the scaffold, she knelt down and began praying the Catholic prayers for the dying, in Latin. The Dean of Peterborough, a committed Protestant, emerged from the crowd of witnesses, and urged her to "put away these Romish pretenses." When she ignored him and went on praying, he stood over her and prayed in English -- and, as the seconds went by, each raised their voice louder and louder, attempting to drown the other out, until Mary put her hands over her ears. WHAT a powerful illustration of the religious tempests that were tearing Europe apart in this era! Mary's biographer Stefan Zweig put it with a poet's insight: "The two faiths, instead of joining forces to pray for the soul of the condemned woman, were still at death grips with each other, even on the steps of the scaffold."
Zweig did give a very good biography ... of two women rather than one.
@@floris.927 Very true. He caught a good deal of Elizabeth's character when he reviewed the reasons for Elizabeth's decision to offer the hand of her favorite, Robert Dudley, to Mary as a husband. After listing her possible motives, he concluded: "All of these reasons are possible; and what is at least as possible as any of them is that this extraordinary woman did not know herself why she had done it."
Mary Queen of Scots directly descended from Edward IV of England, renowned for his height...only when Prince William becomes King will there be a taller English monarch...Edward's sister Margaret, of Burgundy, was also tall...history repeats...
@@kathryngraves4108 All of Mary's Plantagenet ancestors were tall men, and her mother, Marie de Guise, was reportedly tall as well (although I doubt that she approached her daughter's height). Sadly, even Mary's height acted, in a sense, to betray her. When she first met Darnley, she was greatly impressed with his good looks -- which included a height of 6'2". Antonia Fraser, in her biography of Mary, commented that it must have been pleasant for Mary to be able, for once, to dance with a man with whom she could maintain easy eye contact. Even though Darnley was a near-perfect choice as a husband for Mary in dynastic terms (he was the senior male claimant to the English throne, and one of the two leading claimants to the Scottish throne, had the Stuart line ended), that was his ONLY merit. (Another of Mary's biographers used one of my all-time favorite Tactful Word Choices in describing him: "The best of him was seen.") If Mary's physical attraction to Darnley hastened her decision to marry him (before she had time to discover just what a rotter he was), it was yet another of the strokes of bad luck that Mary seemed to attract throughout her life. On the other hand, it was this marriage that, by producing James VI/I, eventually placed the Stuarts on the English throne. Mary had, of course, hoped to accomplish this goal by one day succeeding Elizabeth herself as Mary II of England. (It's worth remembering that Mary would have been 60 in March 1603, when Elizabeth died, had Mary not been executed -- and that was nine years younger than Elizabeth.) I wonder if Mary, in the afterlife, watched her son's accession to England 16 years after her own death, and echoed the fiery words that Genevieve Bujold uttered as Anne Boleyn in 1969's "Anne of the Thousand Days": "My blood was well spent!"
I was interested to know how tall Mary was and mentioned Edward IV because he was the last male Plantaganet in her line and the tallest, and of course through him there's her connection with all the other tall Plantaganet Kings to Edward I, (Longshanks) 💁♀️ Depends on what one does as a ruler as to whether events were worth it I suppose...swings and roundabouts with a lot of them sadly.
Geneviève Bujold was offered the part by Universal Studios, but she rejected it as "...playing another British queen." Universal promptly sued her. Mia Farrow was approached for the role of Elizabeth, but backed out when Bujold refused the role. While working on the set of THE TROJAN WOMEN, Katharine Hepburn warned Bujold NOT to take the role as it was "boxoffice poison." Vanessa Redgrave, also on the same set and in need of cash for her various causes, stepped in immediately afterwards.
so much better with jackson and redgrave.
Make sure you do not get the 1997 film of the same name by Saorse. It is rubbish. The one with Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson is the real deal.
[corrected]
Glenda Jackson *is* Elizabeth R - accept no substitutes ;-)
do u know the name of this film?
The film is called: Mary Queen Of Scots (1971...there are others of the same name). It is an excellent movie with a superb cast and once again, Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth R, cannot be matched!!!!
Reigning Kings and Queens use the R to designate the fact that he or she is the reigning monarch.
You mean "Elizabeth R" R stands for Regina(females) Rex is for males.
Elizabeth Regina, Rex means king, regina is queen
"Ye are Mary, Queen Of Scots?"
"I am."
WHAM! BAM! SMACK!
This trailer makes me glad to be poor and powerless.
Is this movie still available anywhere??
It's available on DVD!
And tubi
Le lotte fra Maria Stuarda, cattolica, e la cugina Elisabetta I, regina d’Inghilterra, che riuscì a far imprigionare e uccidere la rivale.
Why can't historical movie makers stick to basic facts ..
Its not going to affect the movie in any negative way by sticking to the facts , they can still exaggerate and embellish loads of things
But making scenes of queen Elizabeth 1st & mary Scots talking together in the same room or meeting in a field on horseback
DIDN'T HAPPEN , they NEVER EVER CAME FACE TO FACE THEY NEVER MET THEY WERE NEVER IN THE SAME BUILDING AS EACH OTHER ...
So why pretend they did meet ???
They don't even show how the real execution happened,
The axeman took at least 3 chops to cut hed head off because he was useless, a stand in because the one who wax supposed to do it couldn't bring himself to kill a royal,
The stand in was useless & when lifting her head to announce a traitor was killed & show the crowd her head fell on the floor because hed grabbed her wig , and the little dog she had inside her skirt pocket jumped out & scared the crap out of everyone.
To me that's better than inventing stuff , the real thing is more unbelievable than anything Hollywood could invent,, bug they didn't use the truth, they made it seem everything went as it should...
And Mary's son King James never attended her execution. After she was exiled in England Mary never saw her son again, and he was filled with vitriol about her by his advisers, tutors and counselors when he was a teen boy, and her letters were kept from him. As an adult king he did get her letters but he never wrote back. He had no wish to help her regain the throne nor to share power with her, which is what she was asking. He did not lift a finger to help her in her predicament, as her imprisonment in England became stricter and stricter.....and she was moved to worse and worse damp old castles and smaller quarters not fit for an ex queen.
@@juanitarichards1074 I didn't know about that, no wonder James was a bit messed up, and paranoid and didn't trust anyone,
James 1 gets a bad rap from historians in general, what I've read he seems a decent person who had to hide his emotions for so long, bc he didn't know who was in or out regarding those around him growing up in Scotland , like game of thrones ( except more crazy, not inc dragon, real history is more Hollywood than Hollywood, if that makes sense)
Mary trying to blow up her husband and failed, I can't remember how they killed him in the end)
She ran off with a loyal son of Scotland until he fell in love with her, I believe it was genuine even tho many disagree, he wasn't a fool lord bothwell ( I think that's his name, they say first thing to come into your head is generally the right answer, )
He risked everything & lost.
We only really have the Tudor version, and some French but it's hard to get beyond the propaganda to the actual facts.
But from what I know it's a sad story of a girl brought up in court in France with wonderful things, she probably expected to marry & live happily in France mostly but going to Scotland enough to keep the people happy.
I love Scotland but in 1500s would prefer to live in France than cold wet windy Scotland.
Mary Being surrounded by uncouth hairy Scots ( in comparison with mild mannered french nobles, gentlemen all full of manners & perfumes that she was used to )
Couldn't have been very appealing for a young lass .
It's a sad story imo .
@@juanitarichards1074 I'm not a big fan of the Tudors if I'm honest, Lizzy was better than those before her, & being a constant target for catholic hit men, she somehow managed to avoid many attempts on her life, that can't have been easy to live with only trusting her closest lords friends, some of whom betrayed her, young robbie, & were beheaded.
Imagine living in those days now ..
Poor old James nearly blown to bits along with his family and most of parliament, just because he was protestant.
So much hatred over religion, Christian hating Christian.
A pope actually saying God will sing in heaven when he hears of Elizabeth death, giving Catholics permission to kill her , money and more would be included, but a Pope putting out a hit on a queen 😮
Crazy times
@@kevwhufc8640 Yet she was born in Scotland - an unpopular girl when males were always required for the throne, but the rights of inheritance stood. So her French mother acted as regent for her. Then England was demanding Mary marry Prince Edward and Henry Vlll was pursuing this until he died, then Edward Seymour took over the Rough Wooing. They wanted to abduct Mary and bring her up at the English Court till she and young Edward were old enough to marry, so Marie De Guise cunningly hustled Mary off to France.......and yes she had a wonderful life cossetted and spoiled there, then married the young French prince who became king. And Mary became Queen of France and Scotland, but it was short lived and the French royals, especially the Queen Mother had no use for a widowed Queen so they packed her off back to Scotland. And Mary really did try her best to be a good ruler and work in with everybody but it all literally blew up in her face. When her sociopath young husband didn't die from the explosion, somebody, presumably Bothwell strangled him to death.
Because it fits better for fiction, and you don't look smart posting bullshit in youtube.
Elizabeth and Mary never met.
I don't think the possibility of them meeting face-to-face is implausible, a lot of things have been covered up throughout the centuries.
Vanessa Redgrave was so yummy looking then
