so i was going through the pages of the scriptbook i own of elizabeth (1998) and i wanted to check out how the scenes were played out in the film, one thing i noticed however was this one in particular:

it's the scene right before elizabeth is taken to the tower, where she and robert share a moment together. it says on the screenplay that he gives her his chain and she clasps it tightly, now i went back to that bit in the film and i noticed something:

this is the frame where he tells her "remember who you are," it then cuts to a shot with him facing her

notice how the chain around his neck is gone? so yeah i am PRETTY SURE they actually filmed the scene but it didn't make it to the theatrical cut. gosh why (especially if you think about how this is quite significant to the way elizabeth and robert's relationship is early in the movie and what they mean to each other!)

the thing is, i think you can also see her wearing it (i assume i guess) in these scenes that follow after

for all the historical faults and distortions the film had i honestly would have killed to see more scenes between them, especially in the first half of the movie before it really does go wonky lol and with something just as simple as that it showcases a teeny bit more on the relationship they had in my opinion
