Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • Ann Seymour: Do not attempt to confuse me by using words beyond my understanding. Queen Elizabeth I: I am sorry, madame, but they are difficult to avoid.
    [1953]
  • Anne Boleyn: [referring to her involvement in little Elizabeth`s birth] But Henry, didn`t I have a hand in it? King Henry VIII: Of course. [smiles wickedly at Anne] King Henry VIII: But I gave you the idea. [laughter from Anne and the courtiers]
    [1953]
  • Thomas Seymour: If you were queen of England, what would you do, eh? Would you give your admiral the opportunity to do great deeds? Queen Elizabeth I: I`d give him the opportunities he never dared dream about. I`d send him around the globe as the Portuguese do. I`d send him to the New World to let the Spaniards know that they are no longer masters of it. Thomas Seymour: That won`t be easy. We`re a small country, Bess. Queen Elizabeth I: That can be remedied, Tom. It CAN be remedied!
    [1953]
    Trivia
  • Cast as on-screen lovers Young Bess (Queen Elizabeth I) and Sir Thomas Seymour, in real life Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger were married to each other when this movie was filmed.

  • This was young Rex Thompson`s film debut as Prince Edward/King Edward VI. He turned in a truly engaging performance as the ill-fated young King of England, remarkable considering he was only eleven years old, and was not British but a native New Yorker.

  • Jean Simmons almost didn`t get the part of Elizabeth because she was considered too pretty.
