"The Virgin Queen" (1955)

Rod Taylor has an uncredited bit part as Corporal Gwylim in this film featuring Bette Davis as Queen Elizabeth I and Richard Todd as Sir Walter Raleigh.

Taylor has about two minutes of screen time in this movie as he delivers a message to Raleigh in an almost incomprehensible brogue. That's Rod in helmet and breastplate, at right. See and hear him for yourself in this video clip.

A few years after "The Virgin Queen," Taylor would star in a far more adventurous and swashbuckling film set in the Elizabethan era, "Seven Seas to Calais."
