My Brilliant and Witty 2013 Movie Diary (107 movies items)

" I was somehow expecting a stale and rigid costume drama, but my expectations were seriously exceeded. The acting in this movie is faultless and incredible in every way. I can't believe that I didn't like Bette Davis that much before I watched this movie! She's one of the greatest actresses I've ever seen now that I've seen this, I dunno what crack I was smoking before. So here I was, on this Errol Flynn mania, and then BAM, beastly Bette steals the show! I mean, of course Errol is bewitch"

"I not only loved Bette Davis once again as the Queen, but I also loved Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland in this movie, all three stars made this film."

"Alkuun meinasi tulla jopa vähän pettymys puseroon kun tästä ei löytynyt Flynnin elokuville niin ominaista veijarointia ja seikkailua, mutta pettymys häipyi suht. nopeasti. Flynn toimii erinomaisena vastapoolina Davisille, joka on harvinaisen kylmäävä ilmestys Elisabethina. Näyttelijäthän eivät tainneet kuvauksissa juurikaan sietää toisiaan ja tämä jännite myös välittyy lopputuloksesta erinomaisesti. Kuvastoltaan ja musiikiltaan erinomaisen tyylikästä vanhan Hollyn pukuruama"
