Trivia
It took all day to set up the hunting scene, with Glenda Jackson in costume the entire time, as dog handlers and hawk handlers rehearsed their cues. The cameras finally rolled late in the afternoon, with the light beginning to fade and drizzle falling. The shot was perfect; everyone moved on cue. Unfortunately, one dog handler in a bright green shiny plastic raincoat released her hound, but forgot to stop where she was. She ran into the shot, ruining the take and wasting the entire day's shooting.

Goofs
The meetings between Queen Elizabeth I of England and Queen Mary Stuart of Scotland in the borderlands and in Mary's cell before her execution have no basis in any factual/historical account of these rulers. However, it is stated in the film that these meetings were secret and never mentioned even to Elizabeth's closest advisers.

Quotes
[last lines]
Executioner: Forgive me, madam.
Mary, Queen of Scots: I forgive you with all my heart. I thank you even. I hope this death shall put an end to all my troubles. For in my end is my beginning.
[pause]
Mary, Queen of Scots: Lord, into your hands I commend my spirit.

This movie blew me away!

I only just saw this movie for the very first time on one of my cable movie channels and have seen it several times over the past week. I love British movies and I was blown away by all the great actors and the locations and castles used for the filming. The two ladies performances are so strong and were framed by all the great male actors. Patrick McGoohan is awesome, and his steely look playing other roles has always inspired me. From his role as the Disney "Scarecrow" to the Prisoner. Just awesome. I was mesmerized by Nigel Davenport. Nigel had my attention the entire time he was on screen. Nigel, like Patrick, has an awesome look about him and how he carries himself. I will definitely buy the DVD of this movie and get my son to watch it.
