Synopsis

Mary Stuart was named Queen of Scotland when she was six days old, making her the last Roman Catholic ruler of Scotland. At age 23, she was imprisoned by her cousin Elizabeth Tudor, the English queen and her principal adversary. Nineteen years later, Mary’s life ended on the scaffold; her execution removed the final threat to Elizabeth’s throne. The two queens, with contrasting personalities, provide a dramatic counterpoint in history.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
