Plots(1)
The ill-fated romance between King Henry VIII of England and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, is recounted. The king's (Richard Burton) obsession with siring a male heir gives rise to his abandonment of wife Catharine of Aragon, in favor of the young Anne (Genevieve Bujold) and, ultimately, the formation of the Church of England. (official distributor synopsis)
