Commentary

The 1997 movie “Mrs. Brown” is the dramatization of legends, based in fact, surrounding the reign of Queen Victoria. The film depicts how she entered a long period of mourning following the death of her husband, Prince Albert, in 1861, and how her absence from the public stage gave rise to the political forces of republicanism.
