Rating: A -- The film's most famous bit involves Laughton eating a chicken with a primal gusto that clearly defines King Henry's character as a gluttonous man devouring whatever is put before him. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

The film that made Charles Laughton a star tells the story of King Henry VIII and his stormy personal life. Loughton received an Academy Award for his portrayal of the controversial king, while director Alexander Korda saw his film nominated for Best Picture. With a cast that includes Robert Donat, Merle Oberon, and Elsa Lanchester, this dramatic period piece will leave you glad that you never married into royalty!
