Henry VIII and His Six
Wives (1972)
Directed by Waris
Hussein this historical film stars Keith Michell, Charlotte Rampling,
Jane Asher and Donald Pleasence. On his death bed English king Henry
VIII reflects on his six marriages.
Covering so much
material in only a two hour run time means that this film can only
really give an over view rather than a detailed picture of so many
marriages. I would liked to have seen more of the behind the scenes
political manoeuvrings that we only see glimpses of as various nobles
try to increase their power through the king's marriages. Generally
the film is decently made and has a good cast.
3/5
