		Although the figure of Mary Stuart has always been distorted by Hollywood, this is a good movie which is actually an attempt at giving us a glimpse at the women, not the Queens, in their historic context.
		Mary was raised in France in exile, but pretty soon took a keen interest in politics and started plotting all by herself to take possession of the English Crown.
		All this though was certainly not enough to make her the legitimate Queen of England and she should have contented herself by already being Queen of the Scots.

		Mary, Queen of Scots, has captivated the popular imagination ever since she was executed by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England.
		Watkins and Fiennes elegantly tell this remarkable woman's story and illustrate it with attractive photographs of the incidentals of Mary's life: the castles in which she lived and was incarcerated; the letters she wrote; the jewels she wore; and the faces, as rendered in artists' portraits, of her, her family, her friends, and her enemies.
		Although every detail of Mary's life just couldn't be incorporated into this book, there was enough to help a person see the time that she lived in and, perhaps, what motivated her to do some of the things she did.

	Thea Musgrave - Mary, Queen of Scots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There is an almost dizzying build up of dramatic tension among the principal figures in the grasping for the Scottish crown, the story centreing on the impossible hope for peace amid a series of misjudged decisions by the queen, setting as its themes those of power and loneliness.
		But the music is the thing, and in a superb orchestral fabric, Miss Musgrave weaves a spell of compelling power and magical impact.
		There is a constant undercurrent of turmoil throughout the score: she is uncanny in her ability musically to depict clashes in style — Mary's French elegance vs her rough-hewn Scottish courtiers, etc. And her use of melody is rare by any current standards.
