Mary of Scotland's main selling point is it's fabulous black and white photography. John Ford really let Joseph August be as creative as possible. Some of the acting is a little bit artificial and dated. The film is based on a play but it's not bound too much to it's stage origins, however it is quite talk orientated. The story it's self is very much in the Hollywood mold. It's not a history lesson. If it weren't for the photography I'd give this a lower score.
