Fire Over England (DVD) Region Free Laurence Oliver, Vivien Leigh.

Please read: This is a region free DVD and works on any DVD player!


The situation for England is perilous. Still reeling from its own Protestant-Catholic strife, England is a second-rate power under constant threat from Spain's mighty Armada.

With unflinching resolve and magisterial bravery, Queen Elizabeth survives assassins and traitors to instill in her people the pride and courage necessary to defeat Spain and define the greatness of England.

The setting and the astonishing period costumes notwithstanding, this film is not really a history. Rather, it is the foremost dramatic presentation about projecting strength of personality as worldly power - and no one will ever equal, much less surpass, Flora Robson's depiction of Queen Elizabeth.

Raymond Massey is stunningly reptilian as King Philip of Spain, and this movie is also of interest for the as yet unrefined-for-film acting of Laurence Olivier and the always beautiful Vivien Leigh.

And, in addition, there is, of course, the music by Richard Addinsell.

This historical drama is set in England in 1587, when

Spain was the most powerful country in Europe, and

Queen Elizabeth 1 reigned.

Having succeeded the throne from her sister Mary,

Queen Elizabeth was determined to devote her life to

serving the people of England, at whatever cost to her

own happiness and well-being.

And this she did.

beautifully

by

Flora Robson, supported

with a stellar line up of

some of the greatest actors

Hollywood has ever seen

including Laurence Oliver, as Michael Ingolby who is

madly in love with Queen Elizabeth's Lady in

Waiting, Cynthia, played by his Olivier's real life

lover, Vivien Leigh.

Outstandingly directed and produced, Fire Over

England, is a must-see classic, action and adventure

packed with plenty of romance and drama.
