So many movies have been made on this subject, but this dvd is the best by far. Made in the 70s this BBC movie keeps your attention. It's well played, well written and well worth the money. A movie you'll watch over and over.

I feel like I have been unwillingly cast into an episode of the Twilight Zone. I swear I had, a few years ago, watched a 1st-rate Hollywood-quality movie called "The Other Boleyn Girl" featuring the same actors as this BBC TV-movie. I remember the actors, the scenes and even the costumes very, very vividly and they were depicted very differently from those in this BBC production. And NO, it was not the 2008 Hollywood version of this movie, featuring Eric Bana, Natalie Portman, Scarlet Johansson... etc. I clearly remember Natascha McElhone and Jodhi May, though I don't recall who played Henry VIII. That movie had beautiful high quality sets, a true sense of scale and was beautifully filmed with high resolution Hollywood-quality film equipment looking nothing like the 80s grainy washed-out TV filmography depicted in this production. The odd thing is that I recall the DVD jacket for that movie used the same cover photo used in this TV movie DVD. Unfortunately, I cannot find any evidence that the other movie existed on the Internet and I cannot recall whether it was from a DVD I borrowed from a library in the town I was living in before I moved. I feel as if that movie existed in a parallel universe and that I somehow unwittingly crossed over briefly as I watched it.Read full review

I bought this movie, because I adored the book, but I found it was nothing like the book. Most of us can agree that a movie can never really replace a good book, but this movie was completly different then the book, yet stoled the title and the authors name! Granted she may have agreed to it, but I would be surprised. The movie goes differently then the story and leaves out many of the important parts. One scene is so much unlike the book, you find yourself yelling at the screen. "That is not what that character would do!!" It is mostly small bits and bobs of the story, not a true movie. Saying all this, if you enjoy documentary or anything to do with this time period, it is still a good movie, with Ann and the King being very good actors. Just for fans of the book, if you are looking for a movie version of the book, this is not it.Read full review
