- Synopsis:
- Bette Davis and Errol Flynn made The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex fascinatingly public, striking sparks with this lavish Technicolor tale of the ill-fated love between the aging Elizabeth I and the dashing Earl of Essex. Thoroughly unglamorous here - eyes and hairline shaved, face painted chalky white – Bette Davis exudes such intelligence, energy and ardor that her romance with the decades - younger Essex is completely believable.
