The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933)
The film follows the private life of the infamous 16th century British monarch, King Henry the VIII, and his misadventures in his various marriages. Henry is wonderfully portrayed by the highly talented and entertaining Charles Laughton, a masterful one-of-a-kind character actor who managed to land many plum roles. Laughton portrays the Henry as a rollicking, impetuous, boozing lover of women; A man equal parts charming, childish and dangerous.
