As costume dramas go, this is a passionate and feisty one, keyed by the ever-luminous Vanessa Redgrave in the title role and the sharp-edged Glenda Jackson as her jealous cousin, Queen Elizabeth I who knew a thing or two about palace intrigue. Mary, who was raised in France as a Catholic, claims the Scottish crown from her mother upon her death. But she runs up against religious prejudice, both from the Protestant Elizabeth who had encountered anti-Protestant bias before she took the throne and from Mary's Protestant half-brother James Stuart Patrick McGoohan. Elizabeth, whose own reign is shaky given a strong Catholic presence in her country, is nervous about her Catholic cousin--and made more so by Mary's seeming inability to appreciate the political niceties of the period. Redgrave received an Oscar nomination for her performance. --Marshall Fine
