What Young Bess Is About
Her mother died under the executioner’s axe; the daughter would become the most powerful monarch England had. The film follows the dangerous years from Elizabeth’s childhood to her wholly unexpected accession at twenty five: the intrigues of the court, the stepmothers who keep changing, a life that could be lost at any moment. Jean Simmons plays the young Elizabeth and Charles Laughton her father Henry VIII, with Deborah Kerr as Catherine Parr and Stewart Granger as Thomas Seymour. George Sidney builds it as a court adventure and does not go looking for documentary precision.
