Rating:  - Davis plays Queen Elizabeth I for a second time
This is Davis' second film in which she plays Queen Elizabeth I of England. Personally, I thought 1939's "Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" was better, but it is hard to compare the two since this film takes place 15 years earlier in history than "Private Lives" and has Davis essentially playing Elizabeth at the age - 47 - that Davis actually is. The earlier film had Davis at 31 playing Queen Elizabeth in her sixties. Here Richard Todd plays Sir Walter Raleigh, who, like Essex in the earlier ... Read More
Rating:  - a regal Bette Davis in lavish costume drama
In 1939, Bette Davis provided one of her greatest performances as Queen Elizabeth the 1st in the Technicolor MGM drama "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex". She sacrificed for the role, to the extent of shaving her eyebrows plus two inches from her hairline to resemble the aged monarch. So when Twentieth Century Fox went forward with THE VIRGIN QUEEN sixteen years later, it made sense for Bette Davis to once again ascend the throne. Though it does pale dramatically when compared to the earlier ... Read More
Rating:  - Bette Davis-the Queen
Bette Davis is at her best in this one, as the Queen of England, wooing Sir Walter Raleigh. As always, she lives up to the part, making it her own. I'm not so sure this is based, entirely, on fact. The ending seems alittle off. But it is interesting to watch Bette Davis in full form.
Rating: - Bette Davis in The Virgin Queen
Bette Davis reigns supreme in this highly colourful film on the lives of Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh.
The full pageant of royal life, including the famous laying of Sir Walter's cloak in a puddle to allow the queen to step on it, is brought wonderfully to life.
Joan Collins adds a lot of colour as the royal lady-in-waiting who incurs the queen's wrath by marrying Sir Walter.
A classic period drama with scrumptuous costumes and an all-star cast.

Rating: - A Dated :Movie that Needs Updating and Editing in Modern Movie Making Terms
I gave the movie the Virgin Queen four stars because Bette Davis has always been a great actress in my eyes. Certainly Bette Davis was very great in this very old movie production, which in when you view the movie, you can detect that the production is a little nieve for 2005 movie standards. What was really interesting about the movie Virgin Queen is how Jone Colin's and Bette Davis seem to equally carry the movie, in complimenting each others acting ability. As a study in elizabethan history, the movie ... Read More
