The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex

 

This was just an ok Bette Davis movie. Leonard Maltin gave it 3.5 stars. I think that was too generous. Bette Davis plays Queen Elizabeth and has a thing for the dashing Earl of Essex played by Errol Flynn. (I never realized how handsome he was till this movie.) They have a complicated relationship which is tested when she finds that he has other motivations. This isn't one of Bette Davis' best films. She was a good job though.
