Watched "Fire over England" (1937) yesterday. A British film in Elizabethan times about the events leading up to the Armada. It's more of a historical pageant rather than an action film as the action scenes don't match up with the best Hollywood action films of the time. The cast is interesting with major roles for Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh very early in their film careers and still learning. Very small role for James Mason before he became much better known. Highlight in the acting has to be Flora Robson as Elizabeth and the main reason for watching the film if Talking Pictures shows it again.
