Blair's inclusion vital to Morgan's 'Queen' script


February 15, 2007 If you take a second look at Oscar's best picture nominees you typically notice things you didn't at first. In the case of Miramax Films' "The Queen," which reigned in first place on my Top 10 List last December, when I looked at it again recently on DVD the strength of Peter Morgan's screenplay stood out much more than when I saw it for the first time at an early screening last August. Originally, it was Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen bringing Elizabeth II and Tony Blair to life on the screen and Stephen Frears' direction that made an immediate impact.
