Lady Jane

1986 142 min PG Drama · Romance · History

Some of the greatest battles are fought with the heart.

Here's a film that thinks about history as a backdrop for doomed romance. Scheming Dudley marries his son to Lady Jane Grey and manipulates the court to place her on the throne. The newlyweds fall in love, briefly, before power crushes them. A handsome gloss on a grim chapter.

Directed by Trevor Nunn · Written by Chris Bryant, David Edgar

Starring Helena Bonham Carter, Cary Elwes, John Wood, Patrick Stewart, Joss Ackland, Michael Hordern
