Mary of Scotland (1936)

Historical drama suffers from the worst excesses of the genre, especially those made in this period, its over talky, thin and boring. Hepburn’s good but doesn’t feel quite right in this setting, where as March is playing below himself as a sort of low cardio Errol Flynn. Surpasses Drums Along the Mohawk as John Fords most disappointing film, save Wagon Master. Thumbs Down.
