Letters of Henry Viii, 1526--29: Extracts from the Calendar of State Papers of Henry VIII (Uncovered Editions)
Stationery Office Books, 2001
Interesting for Tudor Scholars
+ comment to the guy with 4 stars
+ You'll be surprised at what you don't know about The Divorce!
While I wouldn't recommend this book for the casual reader who wants to know more about King Henry VIII, for scholars, it's wonderful to be able to see the original source documents that are so often briefly quoted in biographies.

Wives of Henry VIII (4pc)
Bfs Entertainment, 2002
Very Disappointed
This was a gift for my wife who loves Tudor history. But it turned out to be a bad choice. Not only was this an amateur production, but the picture seemed stretched vertically. Everything appeared elongated and narrow, making it difficult to watch.

Man for All Seasons (1988)
Nicolas Amer, Brian Badcoe
Turner Home Ent, 2002
Be fair to this film!!!
+ A different approach
I think most of the comments for this film are rather unfair. Unfair to the actor Charlton Heston and unfair to the film itself. Please let me explain:
It seems to me a sort of "England, England!" thing is standing in the way of a fair and objective comment on this film (as if I could give ...

Allied Artists Entertainment, 2003
The Private Life of Henry VIII
+ The Private Life of Henry VIII
+ The Private Life of Henry VIII
Henry VIII's unusual life has been covered in many films, but this lavish early depiction has its own magic, primarily owing to Laughton's dynamic, Oscar-winning portrayal, in a role he was born to play. Laughton is ably supported by a dashing Robert Donat as Henry's cuckolding subject, and the ...
