Vanessa Redgrave v.s. Glenda Jackson

"Mary, Queen of Scots" by Vanessa Redgrave as Mary and Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth I. This 1971 film is already available on DVD (2007) in a 2DVD set (at a price of one...excellent deal) with another great film "Anne of the Thousand Days". These are both big-budget, lavish films packed with great (legendary) casts!

wow! what a great movie! damn i wish i can find it!

@ranka35 - Already on DVD under $10 (or you can rent), comes as a set of 2 DVDs, with another great film "Anne of the Thousand Days".

Glenda Jackson actually seems like she could be the daughter of Genevieve Bujold and Richard Burton. She has Bujold's exact profile, and Burton's voice. Amazing!

[MaiU2b]

@Messylin - I'm absolutely amazed you said that (about the Bujold & Jackson comparison) because I also have always thought these two look quite alike; also the way they talk.

This movie has already been released on DVD! I can't believe you've not got one already if you're such a fan. It's available on Amazon.com & eBay, great price. The picture (widescreen) and the soundtrack are simply magnificent. The DVD-set has two great films in one box (get 2 for the price of one); "Mary, Queen of Scots" and also "Anne of the Thousand Days" with Geneviève Bujold, whose line delivery reminds me of Glenda Jackson. She played Anne Bolyne with Richard Burton as Henry VIII.

It's such a pleasure to listen to Glenda Jackson's impeccable diction. She's like a female Olivier, and Redgrave is like a female Brando - so they have a perfect and thrillingly wonderful acting chemistry.

2 amazing legends

[jaccusefashion]

and of COURSE Glenda wins...Vanessa isnt remotely in her league....As for Cate Blanchett, she isnt fit to wash Jackson's knickers....Glenda is by a long way the best ever performer of Elizabeth. Even Bette Davis pales in comparison. GLENDA IS ELIZABETH! in this and ELIZABETH R the series! Redgrave's line readings are all over the place....AS for Redgrave as Elizabeth in Anonymous, it was frankly a travesty she played her like an Alzheimers ridden Margaret Thatcher...which is unforgiveable....

This movie was amazing, Glenda is my favorite Elizabeth, I love Cate Blanchett-but Glenda seems Elizabeth incarnated and Redgrave was wonderful as Mary.

@MaiU2b It's funny, I agree completely that Jackson & Bujold look alike. Maybe it has to do with how they were made up and dressed up to play queens of England?

Some good acting here; I remember Mary Queen of Scots. Her hair was long black and she was abrupt, a true Queen. I was only a boy then. Her subjects where cheering her as she stood on the balcony looking down on them. She said something sharp to them and came in from the balcony full of confidence slammed the shutters closed. She was a magnificent Queen. But that is all I remember about her.
