Goofs:
Factual errors: Although the movie clearly has rewritten history to make a romance, in reality Jane and Guilford never lived in their own home, nor did they ever live as man and wife in the short time they were together; within a month of the marriage Jane was crowned Queen (and refused to crown Guilford King), and 9 days later they were both in prison, lodged in separate towers, and never had contact again. more
Quotes:
[Lady Anne Wharton bows to holy bread symbolic of God]
Jane: Who are you bowing to?
Lady Anne: To our host, my lady, who made us all.
Jane: Oh, I see! So God made you, and the baker, apparently, made God?

This movie lifted my mind and soul to new heights, 16 January 2004

I saw Lady Jane when I was about 18 and fell in love with it (and with Cary Elwes). Jane is such an inspiration. She gave up her life for her beliefs. who does that anymore? I love the quote "the soul takes flight to the world that is invisible..." There are so many things I love about this movie. I judge how good a movie is by the impact it has on me.Sometimes I leave the theater and can't even remember the plot.

THIS movie changed my life, for the better. Lady Jane is unique and wonderfully produced, acted and edited.
