    The trooping the colour scenes were filmed in 1960 in Technirama and Technicolor. However, 20th Century-Fox decided to release it under the CinemaScope banner. The original British 30 by 40 inches quad poster was magnificent.

    I think the actual footage of the troop is 1957 when the Irish guards trooped as this was the first time that the Queen rode ‘Imperial’ ..3bb GG trooped in 1956. The troop was a bit arse about face… Cavalry don’t ride past until after the Foot Guards and the Colour isn’t trooped near the end! A shame as some of the attention to detail was pretty good, especially for us ex Grenadiers the use of ‘Sarn’t ‘ and hipes instead of arms!

      Hello there! A couple of questions from someone who is not a Brit and (even worse!) never served in the military (poor eyesight). A) What do you mean by "hipes instead of arms"? B) Don´t you think that story (or script) was fairly weak and the acting quite awful? Michael Powell (the film director) considered it "the most inept piece of filmmaking that I have ever produced or directed." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_Guards_(film)

    The Greatest English Speaking voice there ever was. Compare the natural rounded non regional specific profundity of Robert Stephens voice to for instance the insipid voice of Brian Sewell!! For anyone who wishes to speak and to be heard, Robert Stephens is surely the benchmark.

      That's what I was hoping for, too. I saw Robert Stephen's King Lear in Stratford in the early 90s and I will never forget it. It totally changed my understanding of the play. I would love to see a video of it, though I suspect it couldn't come close to the experience of it live ... still.

    I saw it as a teenager. It affected me hugely. I had the misfortune to see a later version at the Festival Hall, with a black actor playing the part of Atahualpa. It didn’t do it for me. It was more to do with the acting, than the colour of the actor, though it did seem a daft idea.
