This is a brief clip from the silent Sarah Bernhardt film Queen Elizabeth (1912). • • In this sequence, Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex is executed. Queen Elizabeth (Bernhardt) visits his corpse, and mourns for him. • • There's a subplot involving a missing ring, which (in the context of the story) demonstrates Essex's fidelity to Elizabeth. • • Queen Elizabeth was by far Bernhardt's most successful film. • • Audio recordings of Sarah's voice can be found at the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project website: • • http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/sea...
