Queen
Victoria reigned over Great Britain for nearly sixty-four years.
Our image of her is set in our minds – a severe, stern widow
dressed in black with a handkerchief on her head.
In 2016, Elizabeth II will surpass this amazing mark (unless
Camilla has her whacked), and while the present queen has had her stern
moments, thanks to television and movies, we have all seen the young
Elizabeth, a vivacious, beautiful adolescent in love with her prince,
Philip. But Victoria was once
young also. She fought her
family’s desire to appoint a Regent to reign in her place, assumed the
throne at the age of eighteen, and conducted a three-year correspondence
by mail with Albert, the son of King Leopold of Belgium, who became the
love of her life when they finally met.
Together, they had nine children.
Sarah
Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has long felt that the story of the young
Victoria should be told. A
brief meeting between Fergie and famed filmmaker Martin Scorsese led to a
script from Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes (“Gosford
Park”). Emily Blunt stars as
the young Victoria. Co-stars
include Rupert Friend as Albert, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent, nine
castles, and Westminster Abbey. Is
“The Young Victoria” a gorgeous film?
Well, how about Oscar nominations for Best Costume (it won), Best Art
Design, and Best Cinematography!
Running
time 104 minutes, rated PG.
