...whether Brown is a devoted servant or a devious bully and whether the Queen's long bereavement is partly stubbornness masquerading as principle. It also provides a field day for some wonderful actors too little seen on this side of the Atlantic. Sher is a wily, puckish delight; and Dame Judi, her face clamped in anguish, radiates the stern ecstasy of grief. This queen of English understatement embodies Victoria's belief: that mourning is the only way survivors can consummate their love for the dead...

But these two movies also had an almost toxic serioso content. At times they got so solemn they could have been Broadway musicals in the fashionable I'm-miserable-I'm-a- monster...
...Notre Dame was Harvard's crucial test against a quality opponent and a definite make-or-break game as far as the NCAAs were concerned. Unfortunately, "break" turned out to be the result. The Fighting Irish thrashed the Crimson, 13-5, down in Indiana, as Harvard's attackers simply could not figure out a way to crack Notre Dame's stingy defense...
