One of the most tragic tales of love and despair ever put to film Anne Of The Thousand Days is the remarkable trueaccount of King Henry VIII of England and his ill-fated marriage to Anne Boleyn. In an Oscar nominated role as thenotorious and all-powerful king Richard Burton (Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf) swings his abundant influence to secure the young and innocently alluringAnne Boleyn (Oscar nominee Genevieve Bujold Dead Ringers) as his new bride. Initially wary of the kings blustering ways Anne soonbecomesintoxicated by the sheer power and control that the kings love represents. A visually sumptuous production from Hal B. Wallis (Casablanca) featuring Irene Papas (Z) and Anthony Quayle (Lawrence of Arabia) in supporting roles Anne Of The Thousand Days is a haunting epic set against the pageantry excess and political intrigue of 16th Century England.
