Henry VIII and His Six Wives
- Henry VIII and His Six Wives
"Henry VIII and His Six Wives" (1972) is the only feature-length film to deal with all six of King Henry VIII's wives (television productions have divided the story up into two or six parts.)
The film was also the first feature-length film made on Henry VIII since the 1933 comedy of manners "The Private Life of Henry VIII".
King Henry was played by Australian actor Keith Michell, as he had done two years previously in the BBC television plays "The Six Wives of Henry VIII". Charlotte Rampling co-starred as Anne Boleyn, Jane Asher played her successor Jane Seymour, Brian Blessed was the king's brother-in-law and Lynne Frederick played Henry's teenage fifth queen Catherine Howard. Frederick's eventual husband, Peter Sellers, began pursuing her after watching her portray Catherine Howard. The music, closely based on actual 16th century pieces, was written, arranged, and performed by the woodwind virtuoso, David Munrow.
The film is also the only one to portray the inaccurate legend of Anne Boleyn's deformed finger (see the article on her life.)
