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. |
