other than the great cinematography by the marvelous james wong howe in the battle scene and this film be a true stinker . this be the second film that i have see in recent day direct by alexander korda . the first be charles laughton rembrandt . it be so lousy that i shut it off . this one i be afraid be not very much well . flora robson be as ugly as ever a queen elizabeth . perhaps and her performance a the virgin queen be good for 1937 standard but when you compare it to that of a helen mirren and it be absolutely no match . in robotic fashion and robson state her line . her battle message to the english troop be so lackluster in spirit . even a dashing laurence olivier can not save this utter piece of boredom . future wife vivien leigh be in a supporting role here and she doesn not really convey anything here . to think and that scarlett be 2 year later . it a shame that history with the spanish armada be make out to be so boring in this film .
