  Fab DVD
  
  I love Helen Mirren, and she plays a fabulous Elizabeth. The dresses and scenes were amazing. Loved it, can't wait for disc 2 to arrive.

  Superb Helen Mirren again and looking older than perhaps the viewer is used to . Jeremy Irons puts in his usual performance and fails to shine. The lighting in ... read more »
