Bessie’s Boys Introduction

Two of my favorite movies from the 1930s are Fire Over England and Seahawk. Both are about dashing young heroes who find out stuff about the impending Armada invasion and rush back to Queen Elizabeth’s court to warn everybody. I often wondered if they bumped into each other along the way. I describe my version of the two stories squashed together as a hysterical historical. By the way, the Bessie in the title refers to Queen Elizabeth. I don’t think anyone ever called her that to her face, at least not more than once.
