Mrs. Brown

[Panache]

The F-H.C.A.G. and I really enjoyed this movie. Certainly an interesting look at Queen Victoria and the dichotomy between the public façade and the needs of the real person behind that role. Billy Connolly did well in Mr. Brown's the transition between duty and obsession. Highly recommended , though a warning to those viewers weaned on modern movies - there is a dearth of “big action sequences”, like life this film is filled with the small moments that wind up meaning so much.

Cheers

I thought it was Queen Victoria. I haven't seen it but always thought of renting it (if still available).

Here is what it says on the IMDB

Plot summary for
Mrs Brown (1997)

Queen Victoria is deeply depressed after the death of her husband, disappearing from public. Her servant Brown, who adores her, through caress and admiration brings her back to life, but that relationship creates scandalous situation and is likely to lead to monarchy crisis.

It was Victoria, not Elizabeth.

Too much Masterpiece theater and Glenda Jackson as a lad a guess.
