December 7 movie: Young Bess. Okay, so its portrayal of Tom Seymour is totally ahistorical. I can't help but love Jean Simmons' headstrong young princess. She's a force of nature, much as I imagine the real Elizabeth. And Charles Laughton is fantastic as Henry VIII. After watching this again I put Elizabeth R back on my Netflix queue. Which is funny because that's exactly what happened last time. I think this movie made me fall in love with Elizabeth.
