Interpretations of Queen Elizabeth I through Film
Fire Over England
Queen Elizabeth is running this show. The men in her court should be thinking about how to add to the glory of the Elizabethan Age and how to foil those pesky Spanish who got far too much influence in England when her older sister Mary was on the throne after their father Henry VIII was succeeded by their sickly half brother. Elizabeth thinks Michael Ingolby can do great things. Michael is mostly thinking about one of Elizabeth's ladies in waiting, Cynthia. Soon his mind is on survival when Elizabeth sends him on a voyage to Spain.
Her Makeup Artist was Perc Westmore. Flora was a typical Hollywood Beauty but I personal think she suited this role of Queen Elizabeth I, as I don't the real Queen Elizabeth I was known for her beauty she was very plain.
