Sturdy historical pageant, with Glenda
Jackson reprising the character sheíd played successfully
on television in the series Elizabeth R.
Locations include Alnwick Castle, off the A1,
30 miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne – now forever
known as the primary location for Hogwarts in the Harry
Potter movies); and Bamburgh Castle, on the coast a further 16 miles to
the north, also seen in Ken
Russell's masterpiece The
Devils.
Mary (Vanessa
Redgrave) steps ashore at Seahouses,
a few miles from Bamburgh.
Filming also took place at Hermitage
Castle, on the B6399, ten miles south of Hawick,
in the Scottish Borders. Hermitage
is open from April to September (admission charge; tel:013873.762225).
Elizabeth and Mary never met, but what kind of movie
would that make? The film's totally invented confrontation
was filmed at Parham
House, Storrington, near Pulborough, on the
A283 about 10 miles northwest of Worthing, Sussex
(rail: Pulborough). Parham is open to the public on
certain days from Easter to the end of October (tel:
01903.744888).
