Movie Description A bawdy look at the 16th-century British monarch famous for forming the Anglican Church in order to justify his consumption of wives. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Picture. Academy Awards: Best Actor-Charles Laughton.
Synopsis Charles Laughton essays another of his many larger-than-life roles -- that of the infamous English patriarch, Henry VIII. The King is presented here as a mostly genial sort. But fear not, while the story covers only five of his six marriages, heads still roll.
