What better time to coronate yourself as a royal film historian by streaming the best portrayals of British queens?
Bette Davis considered Queen Elizabeth I one of the most intriguing women in history, was a vociferous reader of Elizabethan history, and played the monarch twice on screen during her career. The first, 1937's T, is probably the finer movie, though it comes with some juicy behind-the-scenes gossip .
The second, however, pairs Davis with an iconic diva named Joan: a very young Joan Collins in this case, playing a handmaiden in her Hollywood debut. Shot in grand color, it's certainly the prettier of the films. Davis was never under the illusion that she was portraying Elizabeth as a young beauty in either movie, but inher costumes and makeup especially toe the line between opulence and the grotesque.
