Nine Days a Queen
Tudor Rose
They gave her a Perfect Lover, then Plotted her Excecution. A Romance which Out-Triumphed the Most Terrible Crime in History
A dramatization of Lady Jane Grey's short life, from her forced marriage (which she resisted) to her brief reign as monarch of England and finally to her beheading. The film portrays her as an innocent set up for the slaughter while the scheming courtiers and pretenders to the throne barely pay her mind, as they stab each other in the back in their attempts to gain power and influence.
