Bette Davis was superb as Elizabeth, and Errol Flynn his charming best as Essex. Also nice, as always to see the young Vincent Price here. An excellent screenplay, and fine direction from Michael Curtiz. Recommended mostly for Bette Davis, though, who was quite attractive here.

So much better than Davis's second outing as Liz the 1st (The Virgin Queen). She said that she never rated Errol Flynn as a dramatic actor, but upon watching this years and years later, decided that he was actually rather good after all! I have to agree. The part would just be flat if played by anyone else of the time - including Olivier. He just didn't have the star-power that Flynn did. A classic.

A film that basically relies on exchanges of fine dialogue. The war scenes are now dated and the final act is very weak, with the characters saying one thing only to contradict themselves and keep the plot moving, but Davis raises the movie from ordinary to enjoyable.

Bette Davis gives a wonderful performance as the virgin queen but Mr Flynn disappoints as the love interest. The Queen had many suitors for her heart but for her the only way is Essex......

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex is unbelievably historically inaccurate. Even viewers not fans of the period will undoubtedly gawk at some of the more blatent inventions in the story. Elizabeth's character is a bit irritating, portrayed in most cases as a rather foolish woman. The films strengths are mesmerizing costume and set design, filled by many talented actors. Errol Flynn is particularly entertaining in his role as Essex. A great look back at the film industry of the 1930s; while not an accurate look back at Elizabethan England.
