The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933)

1933 · 97 min · History, Drama

Renowned for his excess, King Henry VIII goes through a series of wives during his rule. With Anne Boleyn, his second betrothed, executed on charges of treason, Henry weds maid Jane Seymour, but that wedded bliss also ends in tragedy. Not one to be single for long, the tyrannical king chooses German-born Anne of Cleves, but their union lasts only months before an annulment is granted, and so Henry's reign of spousal terror continues.

Directed by Alexander Korda. Starring Charles Laughton, Robert Donat, Franklin Dyall, Miles Mander and Laurence Hanray.
