Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Cary Elwes is related to both Guilford Dudley and Lady Jane Grey (on his father's side). Because Dudley and Grey never had children, Elwes is the direct descendant to Dudley and Grey's siblings: Mary Dudley, Guilford's sister, and Katherine Grey, Jane's sister, who was also the wife of Edward Seymour. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Although Jane Grey was offered the chance to spend her final night before her execution with her husband, she refused to have him anywhere near her. 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?

Beautiful and Moving, 13 April 2001

Author: wildebeest-2

It's hard for me to be objective about this film as I find both the main actors so divine, but I thought the portrayal of the developing romance extremely moving, by the time the film ended I was sobbing, and I say that about almost NO movie.

The cinematography was stunning, both indoor and outdoor shots were beautifully visualised and captured. The sets and costumes also were extremely well done.
