| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyNicely mounted but fictionalized account of royal intrigues, in which Charles Laughton reprised his role of King Henry VIII (after winning Oscar for it back in 1933). |
| User ReviewAshley HYoung Bess is an exceptional film. It is about the life of Queen Elizabeth I before she becomes queen of England. Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger give incredible performances. The screenplay is well written. George Sidney did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this movie because of the drama. Young Bess is a must see. |
| User ReviewCecilia BA highly believable drama, Young Bess is one of my favourite Tudor films and is in the classic golden-age style of Anne of the Thousand Days. |
| User ReviewBryan MMuch of it is historically inaccurate, but the performances are engaging. A superb example of old-style Hollywood storytelling. |
| User Reviewjay nThe film contains just enough actual history to maintain a patina of truth but it's really more a star vehicle for Jean Simmons, she's very good, and on that level it's very successful. Laughton gets to chew the high grade ham repeating his Oscar winning role of Henry the VIII. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WCostumes aplenty here in fine colorful splendour as intrigue stalks the courts of England. The question as always: who's calling the shots here? Simmons and Kerr are ever photogenic and Granger can wear a costume with the best of them. The outcome, though Hollywood-ised, is history, while the film itself is only mildly amusing. |
| User ReviewJosé RNot a extraordinary film, but much better than historical movies of those years... Jean Simmons gives a great performance, but Stewart Granger is not exactly the kind of actor needed for his role... The best performance though comes from the young Rex Thompson (only 9 y/o then) as Prince Edward. Pity Deborah Kerr and Charles Laughton are almost not seen. |
| User ReviewAndy CCourt intrigue and wonderful costumes can't save this well intended film from melodramatic tedium. Jean Simmons gives a ridiculous performance as Queen Elizabeth I. |
