Episode 32: The Private Life of King Henry VIII

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Charles Laughton's portrayal of the English king with many wives in The Private Life of Henry VIII is where it all began. But does the movie stand the Screen Test of Time when so many other versions of the story have been told since?
