Queen Christina (1933) Synopsis

Queen Christina of Sweden ascended to the throne at the age of six and as an adult has proven to be a wise and just ruler. There is much speculation about who she will marry - and produce an heir - but she is not interested in any of the possibilities mentioned, including Prince Charles. She does fall in love with the Spanish ambassador, Antonio, but marriage is out of the question given that he is a Roman Catholic. Some of those around her, such as Count Magnus, demand that she send him away and the mob rises openly against him. She insists that she has right to be happy and is forced to choose between love and her duties as queen. Hers is not a happy future however.—garykmcd
