Product: Victoria & Albert: A Royal Love Affair [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 5.0
Beautifully acted, lavish sets and outdoor scenes, period piece
This a beautifully acted and choreographed film that depicts the lives of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. As some have pointed out not all this film is historically accurate. Bertie never could do right and was raised in a strict Victorian environment. I suspect Bertie received more love and affection from the servants than his parents. Today we'd be shocked by such poor parenting but during the Victorian times this was acceptable. Also, Queen Victoria never recovered from the death of Albert. She pretty well took to living a secluded life the rest of her reign after Albert's death.The film was beautifully acted by some well known stars including Diana Rigg and Peter Ustinov. The characters playing Queen Victoria and Prince Albert depicted good on screen chemistry leading the movie goer to immerse themselves into this most believable movie about Queen Victoria's reign.Highly recommend.
