Young Bess

The mother died under the executioners axe; the daughter rose to become Englands greatest monarch - the brilliant and cunning Queen Elizabeth I. Jean Simmons portrays young Bess in this rich tapestry of a film that traces the tumultuous, danger-fraught years from Elizabeths birth to her unexpected ascension to the throne at a mere 25. Charles Laughton reprises his Academy Award-winning role as her formidable father Henry VIII. Deborah Kerr plays her last stepmother (and Henrys last of six wives), gentle Catherine Parr. And Simmons then real-life husband, Stewart Granger, adds heroics as Lord Admiral Thomas Seymour. In a resplendent world of adventure, romance and court intrigue, Young Bess reigns.
