...half-hour historical epic featuring a slightly embellished version of the events surrounding the girl-queen's life and death. Brimming with Renaissance cantatas sung by an invisible chorus, elegantly outfitted noble lords and ladies, broad, sweeping shots of the glorious English countryside, meticulously reconstructed regal interiors and a heavy dose of iconographical pageantry, Lady Jane would seem more at home in the context of such decade-old films as A Man for All Seasons and Anne of a Thousand Days than among the current crop of long-playing MTV music videos filling our theatres...
