Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Henry's first wife, Catherine of Aragon was dispensed with
in the opening credits. She was a good, pious woman therefore, boring. We find wife # 2, Anne, about to lose her head. She was accused of adultry & incest. The charges were probably bogus. The real problem was that Henry was bored with her & had fallen in love with his mistress, Jane. No political treatise this. It may the first Henry VIII talkie.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Private Life of Henry VIII
Henry VIII's unusual life has been covered in many films, but this lavish early depiction has its own magic, primarily owing to Laughton's dynamic, Oscar-winning portrayal, in a role he was born to play. Laughton is ably supported by a dashing Robert Donat as Henry's cuckolding subject, and the dark and stunning Merle Oberon as the endearingly dim-witted Boleyn.
