Fire Over England

(1937)Directed by William K. Howard92 minHistory, Drama, Romance, Adventure
“A thrilling tale of love and danger— that will live in your memory as long as there is romance in your heart!”

In 1588, English sea raiders keep taking Spanish ships loaded with New World gold, and they do it with Queen Elizabeth I (Flora Robson) quietly behind them. King Philip II (Raymond Massey) watches from Spain as the two countries drift toward open war. William K. Howard stages it as a costume drama, and Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh first appear together as Michael Ingolby and Cynthia.
