(OK) Good restored version. Basically is the great overaged Robson finding Olivier (passionate but a bit funny) and Vivien froting in every corner; but now and then, when the plot is not too naif, good observations on power by Flora, the lords (Banks is a convincing Leicester) and Philip of Spain/Massey.

Queen Elizabeth is running this show. The men in her court should be thinking about how to add to the glory of the Elizabethan Age and how to foil those pesky Spanish who got far too much influence in England when her older sister Mary was on the throne after their father Henry VIII was succeeded by their sickly half brother. Elizabeth thinks Michael Ingolby can do great things. Michael is mostly thinking about one of Elizabeth's ladies in waiting, Cynthia. Soon his mind is on survival when Elizabeth sends him on a voyage to Spain.

"In 1588, relations between Spain and England are at the breaking point. With the support of Queen Elizabeth I, British sea raiders such as Sir Francis Drake regularly capture Spanish merchantmen bringing gold from the New World. King Phillip of Spain plots to kill the Queen by sending the greatest sailing armada ever seen in the world to invade England. A solid historical costume drama with a stacked cast which includes a young Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Flora Robson is absolutely super"
