The film covers her early life from the time when Anne Boleyn was executed up until Henry VIII's death. A lot of time is devoted to Elizabeth's relationship with her stepmother's husband Thomas Seymour.Directed by George Sidney, the film boasts a star-studded cast, including Jean Simmons as Elizabeth, Stewart Granger as Tom Seymour, Deborah Kerr as Catherine Parr, Charles Laughton as Henry VIII, and Kay Walsh as Elizabeth's governess Kat Ashley. The film's release also coincided with HM The Queen being crowned in England.

Adorably Precocious Child: Edward VI is a child but acts as though he has the authority of a king, and bosses people around as such.

Artistic License – History: Elizabeth and Tom Seymour's relationship was most certainly not a "romance" but a case of child sexual abuse, one that would have been seen as horrific in its time given that Seymour stood in loco parentis to the girl. Elizabeth was a young and naive fourteen, not an adult woman as depicted in this movie. After Catherine's death, Tom did pursue Elizabeth but she ignored him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Adaptation Dye-Job: Catherine Parr had dark blonde hair in real life. She's a redhead here.
