Mary Queen Of Scots (1971) - Blu-ray Forum

Drifter · 12-28-2019, 01:07 PM

Anyone else interested in a blu-ray release of Mary Queen Of Scots (1971; Universal)? It does not appear to have been released anywhere in the world on blu. I thought we'd see a release with the 2018 re-make.

It stars Vanessa Redgrave, Glenda Jackson, and a young Timothy Dalton, and is similar to Anne of the Thousand Days, perhaps because of a release in a 2-DVD package with that movie. For those of you that like historical epics, it also has introductory and intermission music by John Barry.

This is an absolutely riveting film with great performances by a stellar cast. A top notch film with outstanding production values front to back. Originally released in 70MM/6 track stereo, this should look fabulous on Blu-ray and 4K.

Yeah, it's a good one, and it was mentioned in the Kino thread as a possibility, but no confirmation/denial from Kino I believe.

Absolutely! Doubtful we’ll get a full restoration, but I’d settle for a new 4K scan and a little cleanup. Nigel Davenport is great in this, as is the entire cast.

Kino, you’re our only hope!

Acting legends Vanessa Redgrave (Isadora, Julia) and Glenda Jackson (Women in Love, The Maids) star in this sweeping portrait of two of the world’s most fascinating leaders, Mary, Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth I of England. Redgrave earned an Academy Award nomination for her stunning portrayal of Mary, who returns to her troubled homeland following the death of her husband, the King of France. From the moment Mary reclaims her throne, Elizabeth (Jackson) seeks to oust her, fearful that Mary will one day have a son who will ultimately rule both countries. Aided by Mary’s deceitful brother (Patrick McGoohan, Ice Station Zebra), Elizabeth schemes to arrange an ill-fated marriage between Scotland’s queen and a vain nobleman (Timothy Dalton, The Lion in Winter) with allegiance to Tudor England. Mary and Elizabeth’s undaunted quests for power leave a trail of deception, murder and holy war. Directed by Charles Jarrott (Anne of the Thousand Days) and co-starring Nigel Davenport (Play Dirty), Trevor Howard (Outcast of the Islands), Daniel Massey (Star!), Ian Holm (Alien) and Andrew Keir (Quatermass and the Pit), Mary, Queen of Scots was nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Art Direction-Set Decoration, Costume Design and Score (by the great John Barry, The Ipcress File).
