Rating  - Less than I'd hoped for
Must admit that I was OK with Anne of the Thousand Days, but the Mary, Queen of Scots film was just drudgery. I was unimpressed with the pace of the film. I have read considerably about Tudor England and the rivalry between Elizabeth and Mary. Glenda Jackson was impressive as Elizabeth I, but Vanessa Redgrave was a snore. Each movie takes poetic license, but I would recommend the 6 disc Elizabeth R for a more comprehensive look at the period or get the Tudors from Showtime.
Rating  - Great two-some
Anyone who enjoyed "The Tudors", on Showtime, will enjoy this great two-some. The acting is terrific and the storyline seems true to the subject. Anne of "Anne of the Thousand Days" is a lot more likeable than the Anne of "The Tudors". Glenda Jackson, is, of course, absolutely wonderful as Queen Elizabeth in Mary Queen of Scots, while Vanessa Redgrave seems a bit simpy as Mary.
Rating  - Best History
After watching the Tudors and The Other Boleyn Girl,I still think this version beautifully redone is the best. Getting both dvd's is a bargain!
Rating - anglophile
Despite some memorable performances by several actors, no one will ever rock Henry VIII like Richard Burton in "Anne of the Thousand Days." Equally well-cast are Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson in Mary Queen of Scots. Both films are in my permanent collection to be enjoyed over and over again.
