True, the film contains a number of questionable historical allusions, such as the presence of Mary Tudor at her mother's deathbed, which was impossible given the royal ban on any contact between them, but on the whole the story of a mad sovereign who treacherously wrecked the lives of his subjects and of the women he chose is told faithfully. And generally speaking, if one learns in good time of the tragic fate of Henry VIII's many women, any desire to find a prince of one's own may quite reasonably dry up, sparing one a spoiled life later on.

As for the image of Anne Boleyn, mother of Elizabeth I, in Charles Jarrott's film, in England it is considered the definitive historical portrait of this strong and unhappy lady, for which enormous credit belongs to Geneviève Bujold, who played the queen and is now 82 years old.
