Fire Over England (1937)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 92m
Director: William K. Howard
Cast: Flora Robson, Leslie Banks, Raymond Massey, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh

Synopsis:

A young patriot falls in love with Queen Elizabeth I's lady in waiting and goes off to fight the Spanish Armada.

Review:

The film which encapsulated the Oliviers' romance more than any other and won them over to the national (and international) bosom. (Nothing like a bit of jingoism amid a gathering storm for overlooking some extra-marital rumpy-pumpy, eh?) It's a bit stilted now, of course, and the sea battle was only ever a bathtub affair, but there's no underestimating the historic importance of the film.
