The delightful Miss Blunt first stepped in front of a camera for this biopic of the legendary warrior. Emily wasn't in the lead role, though. That one went to Alex Kingston of Moll Flanders and ER fame.

Written by period drama go-to guy Andrew Davies, the film didn't quite escape the TV feel, but was a good opportunity for the young actress to show off her talents (and a decent singing voice) as Isolda. It also gave her experience of the historical epic, which would prove valuable for her future career.

Putting it bluntly: More TV than big screen.
