Review of Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) by Lauren W — 26 Oct 2009
Richard Burton is in fine form as the lecherous, self-absorbed Henry VIII and Genevieve Bujold is a compelling (and beautiful) Anne Boleyn. The production is a little stiff, and has a very studio feel, but wonderful performances all around, including the great Anthony Quayle as Wosley.
As a fan of Robert Bolt's 'A Man For All Seasons' I found it interesting to watch the story of Thomas More treated as a mere sub-plot here, though as with all historical dramas, great liberties are taken with recorded facts.
