Truly Victoria and Albert
This is a lovely movie, much after the style of A&E's Pride & Prejudice. Victoria Hamilton is a convincing Queen Victoria and Jonathan Firth is a superbly prudent and moral Albert. The whole movie is full of detail and many circumstances actually happened (such as the king's insulting Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent). The movie ends at Albert's death, and although a fitting end, with many touching scenes, it was a little historically inaccurate. Victoria's life did go on after Albert's death and she was happy again. However, it is 'Victoria & Albert', so I make an allowance for that and urge any one to watch it. Prepare to be enthralled!
