Trivia:
When Korda re-released this film circa 1944, he commissioned a new trailer which implied that James Mason (by then a huge box office star for rival studio Gainsborough) was a major star of the film. In fact, Mason plays a tiny role in “Fire Over England” and his name does not even appear in the credits! more
Quotes:
Spanish Ambassador: If your majesty will not hear words, we must come to cannon and see if you will hear them.
Queen Elizabeth I of England: If you use threats of that kind, I will chase you out of my kingdom.
Spanish Ambassador: But, your grace. You MUST listen.
Queen Elizabeth I of England: Must? Little man, little man, must is NOT a word to use to princes. Our council shall confer with you. Meanwhile, go home and be quiet!

Glory to the victor., 14 September 2003
5/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

This is a terrific, interesting historical saga about an Englishman(Laurence Olivier)spying in Spain during their 1500s conflict. Full of action and adventure. Flora Robson is outstanding as Queen Elizabeth I. Almost flawless portrayals from Raymond Massey, Leslie Banks, Morton Selten, Cecil Mainwaring and the lovely Vivien Leigh. Highly recommended.
