Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Mary of Scotland is a 1936 Historical Romance film from RKO studios, recounting the life and love of Mary, Queen of Scots, directed by John Ford and starring Katharine Hepburn and Fredric March. The film, based on a successful blank verse drama by playwright Maxwell Anderson, is an example of Hollywood History at its most extravagant -- but it is less the numerous historical inaccuracies than the wild melodramatics affected by every performer (excepting perhaps only John Carradine) that made the film a financial disaster and one of the films responsible for making Hepburn "box office poison" until her career was revived by The Philadelphia Story in 1940. Director John Ford was reportedly so disgusted at being slated to oversee a "woman's picture" that he took to leaving the set early and even delegated the direction of one of the romance scenes to Katherine Hepburn herself! |
