Mary, Queen of Scots - Trailer

[@josephrocha142]

Nobody has ever been better playing Elizabeth than Glenda Jackson IMO. She's an unforgettable actress.

[@gregberg5559]

As soon as I heard the news of the death of the great Glenda Jackson, I went searching on KZbin for something from this film, which I vividly remember seeing in the theater when it was released in 1971. I was only 11 years old at the time, and I'm quite sure that I did not fully grasp much of the story- but it still electrified me. (To this very day, I can clearly remember what it was like to hear Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth tearfully utter those words "I am but barren stalk!" I didn't fully understand the meaning of those words but I profoundly felt the character's despair and pain. What an artist. R.I.P. Glenda Jackson!

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

In every scene in which she appears, the great Glenda Jackson radiates. I love her performances as Elizabeth I, especially the tour de force performance she gave in "Elizabeth R".

[@gogreen7794]

I prefer her performance in this movie, but both are great.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Great to see Glenda and Vanessa together - they are both geniuses of acting in my opinion.

[@sl4983]

This is better than the new rendering. This is a great movie!

[@ianedwards4400]

The film, beautifully portrays human complexities. It is difficult to envision any other actor besides Glenda Jackson to portray this role. Her portrayal is nuanced and captivating, exuding an air of authority. This is an historical film that boasts multiple layers and subtexts. The director masterfully weaves a complex narrative in which the protagonist is consumed by her own ego and power. This great thespian - Glenda Jackson - can be enjoyed in A Touch of Class. Its a comedy like no other.

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

RIP Glenda 💜 superb actress.

[@dkfavs]

Great Movie, I cried at the end. God Bless you Mary Queen of Scotland!

[@canmanlam]

Vanessa Redgrave is absolutely radiant in this classic. Her last scene as she was about to be executed is one of the most powerful scenes in movie history.

[@LadyAmerican]

Love this film. Mary and Elizabeth were true rivals. Love the line where Mary says, "My lord, I urge you to guard you mistress well for there are many who wish her dead." oooooohhhhhhhh

[@RETROGEMS]

This looks GOOD. I love historical epics but I really love Vanessa Redgrave as an actress. She's my fave!

[@YTfancol]

Wonderful movie. Great cast.

[@musicalmagpie741]

Vanessa Redgrave deservedly was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Mary. I can’t help but feel that Glenda Jackson should have received the same recognition for her performance. If not best actress then at least best supporting actress. Perhaps it was because she was reprising her role from the BBC series Elizabeth R the same year. She got two Emmy Emmy awards for that so perhaps they were reluctant to take away the chance of an American actress getting the Oscar. Didn’t matter, she nabbed two anyway. Although her performance in Elizabeth R is better, here she completely steals each scene she’s in. There were parts in this film where I was looking forward to Elizabeth’s scenes as some of it does drag on slightly. A great film anyway with a sizzling Elizabeth from Glenda Jackson and a very naive Queen of Scott’s from Vanessa Redgrave!

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

Love this film & Glenda Jackson, Vanessa Redgrave & Timothy Hutton in it

[@eamonndeane587]

You mean Dalton. Timothy Hutton would have been 11 when this film was released.

[@hifive102]

this makes me proud of my Scottish heritage.

[@katford7286]

Nigel Davenport was a wonderful Bothwell. I love this movie.

[@cliomusa5923]

OMG!! What young man and gallant was TIMOTHY DALTON when it led Lord Darnley in 1971!

[@solpat1977]

Mary would have had a French accent, having lived in the French royal court since she was a baby, and having marred the Dauphin as a young girl

[@MrPlastikgirl]

my nanna took me to see this when i was a child kindled my interest in history

[@GEONAT78]

Vanessa Redgrave very beautiful woman!! Young Timothy Dalton!!!

BRAVO!

[@rees276]

Vanessa Redgrave took over the role from Genevieve Bujold who decided not to play another queen who lost her head.

[@bananaborz1]

It was a good call. Bujold and Redgrave are both fantastic, but Redgrave is a much closer resemblance to Mary, Queen of Scots (height and hair colour, for starters).

[@canmanlam]

This is untrue. Hal Wallis stated that this was an unfounded rumor and that Vanessa Redgrave was the first choice to play Mary queen of scots right from the beginning.

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

Patrick McGoohan's 2nd role after The Prisoner and it's interesting to see he's held onto his reputation as a star, being cast just beneath Vanessa and Glenda. Like his leading ladies, I'd have loved to see him do a spy spoof with Morecambe & Wise. McGoohan made stars out of Roger Moore and Sean Connery by turning down The Saint and James Bond. Ironically, the 4th Bond Timothy Dalton also appears! Be seeing you.

[@hugh0221]

2:08 A very likely manner that Prince Hans from FROZEN would have in front of Anna if he succeeded to reach his goal.

[@triciamyles7258]

Where to see the full movie?

[@ButterflyQueene07]

I wish life could have turned out differently for Mary.

[@MrBoBoTom]

Mary Queen Of Scots didn't hate her, it seems she was even completely ignorant of being seen as a threat. Also they never actually met, wtf?

[@oliver9924]

+MrBoBoTom Have you met them , you know what they did , you can not know for sure you can have a infarmation and those who made ​​the film had another infarmation . Nobody knows for sure WHAT HAPPENED.

[@MrBoBoTom]

+Jonathan Larsson We have extensive information. Meeting (that never came to be) needed to be up at great cost.

[@sleepykat9]

in all the documentaries and articles ive read yes theyve never met

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

RIP Glenda

[@AssinnippiJack]

Bothwell to Stuart. "It's your loving sister come to put a rope around ye'r neck!" Love it!

[@tadimaggio]

Given that Mary made every effort to meet Elizabeth, over a thirty-year period, while Elizabeth always found one pretext after another to avoid such an encounter, it's clear what the power dynamics in this relationship were. Elizabeth had never in her life met a fellow monarch while she herself was a monarch; in other words, she had never had to contend with an equal. The four monarchs she had met before her accession -- her father Henry VIII, her half-brother Edward VI, her half-sister Mary I, and her brother-in-law Philip II of Spain -- could be flattered, coaxed, or pleaded with; everyone else was an inferior, and could be commanded or threatened. She could neither command, nor would she ever consider flattering or pleading with, Mary. (Mary was also 5'11", while Elizabeth was 5'6".Not an inconsequential point). I also firmly believe that Elizabeth, master political strategist that she was, suspected, right from the beginning of her reign, that (to borrow the most famous phrase from bad Westerns) "this island ain't big enough for the two of us." If she had to one day make an end of Mary -- by whatever means -- it would be far better for Elizabeth if Mary were nothing but a faceless abstraction, rather than a person of flesh and blood, with a smile, a voice, and a favorite perfume. Mary wanted a meeting because, in her own words, "half an hour's conversation between we two will make an end of all our differences." Mary trusted in her (by all accounts extraordinary) charm to secure her ends; Elizabeth feared it for that very reason.

[@zippymufo9765]

Nice take, fanboy 😂 Elizabeth had no reason to meet her.

[@maxalberts2003]

@@zippymufo9765 Natural female curiosity.

[@zippymufo9765]

@@maxalberts2003 Natural female curiosity doesn't override protocol or political wisdom. As Elizabeth I said many times across her lifetime, being a Queen meant putting most of her own personal wishes aside. Certainly the OP's fantasy that Elizabeth was scared that Mary would dominate her is the kind of cringy speculation borne of "fan culture". Elizabeth had absolutely nothing to gain, politically or personally, from meeting Mary.

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

This was a really good film. Redgrave was very good in it. Jackson was better in Sunday, Bloody Sunday, so I see why Redgrave was nominated for this and Jackson was nominated for that one. Fonda, whoever, was better than both that year in Klute.

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

Glenda Jackson gave THE definitive performance of Elizabeth I in the BBC miniseries, Elizabeth R.

[@nonie6484]

im proud to her granddaughter

[@triciamyles7258]

[@heliotropezzz333]

If you were her grandaughter you would have died hundreds of years ago.

[@tomashize]

WoW They must have put half the film in that trailer!

[@happybkwrm]

@tich302001 Considering her son refused when given the chance to get her out of prison, I don't think it was much of a revenge. Elizabeth had Mary tried and executed because she tried to get Elizabeth killed and take her kingdom.

[@jonrayfernandez6874]

Did the BBC series Elizabeth R come before this, or was this after?

[@iamsheel]

they say ther is a remake in 2008 ? is that true ?

[@FREDERICKjotoBARRAZA]

The birth of Mary Stuart was a great disappointment to her father, King James V of Scotland. When hearing that his second wife Marie of Guise had been delivered of a girl, he's said to have turned in face to the wall in bed, saying only "It came from a woman; it will end in a woman" referring to the Stewart claim to Scotland's throne. When James V died in 1542, Mary became Queen of Scotland as an infant, only six days old. She was crowned in the chapel at Stirling Castle on September 9, 1543.

[@leylarose6599]

well her and her heirs claimed england as their own, uniting two countries. LONG MAY THEY REIGN!

[@solpat1977]

They never met - why do these dramas always get this wrong?

[@gogreen7794]

This movie sets up the meeting to be a complete secret from everyone except the very few who were there. I'm willing to accept that as a possibility.

[@fabianferrada2501]

Two of the history's most powerful woman? Not really, Elizabeth surely was, Mary Stuart not to much.

[@bananaborz1]

Mary was equally as powerful as Elizabeth in that they were both sovereign queens. Perhaps you meant that Mary was not as effective a ruler as Elizabeth.

[@pumpkinspice560]

They were both powerful, but Elizabeth was much more effective than Mary. Mainly because Mary was ill-prepared when she came back to Scotland and Elizabeth grew up in England and understood her country
