Anyone going to the cinema in 1933 to see this was certainly getting a treat for their money. A stunning and sumptuous depiction of life in Henry Vlll's court and sprinkled with many stars of the time. A superb production with a tour de force performance from Laughton at its heart.
Фильм 1933года посмотрела в 2023,через 90 лет!!!Получила огромное удовольствие от постановки,игры актёров,костюмов и декорации.Это настоящий шедевр.100 очков даст современным пустым"однодневкам" с их спецэффнктами и компьютерной обработкой.Фильм будет великолепно смотреться ещё 100 лет.
Seeing this movie in the 70s was what made my lifelong love of English history a reality, and although not comepletely true to that History, it was superbly acted by all involved, IMO
@@glorialange6446 I agree Gloria. I've always loved the history of the Tudors. I think it's because so much happened during the reign of Henry VIII, didn't it? And what happened changed England forever. He broke with Rome and founded the Church of England so he could divorce Katherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. He had Sir Thomas Moore executed because Thomas refused to sign the document saying that Henry VIII was the Head of the Church. And then, after only 3 years of marriage to Anne, he had her beheaded because she didn't give him the son he so desperately wanted. It's ironic that Henry VIII was so determined to have a son considering that his daughter Elizabeth I was such a brilliant Queen, ruthless but still brilliant. It was an amazing period in British history.
He was one of the finest actors ever were to grace the silver screen. Acting was his passion, however his endeavors on screen were a blend of his personal artistry welded a science in study molded thru strict discipline.. He carried it off to a tee actually becoming whom he played... bringing history to life for whatever present day granted such a glorious reunion with the past. I greatly admire his performances, whether the hero or fiend, a rarity for myself who usually does not care to see the switch from dark to Light in a favorite actor.
When work was dried up he would walk the streets of Scarborough, if memory serves, chap on doors and read passages from the bible to residents. To keep him "match fit" so to speak. It can easily be argued that he is the greatest British actor of all time. And his shot at directing is a masterpiece.@@kingdomfreedom8323
The real story is fascinating. Laughton is the best to portray the King by far. Imagine having to marry a man with a huge ulcerated sore in his leg (early injury- he fell from a Horse). The sore never healed, and the rotted flesh smelled so bad that the Court had to burn spices and use perfume constantly. The Director Korda's brother Vincent did the sets- great stuff! TY.
Actually I believe this is inaccurate. If it was an open wound it would have contracted an infection. I believe it was a cyst. It could be on the knee, calf, inner groin, tail bone. It is usually a closed looking boil. It fills with duct fluid, blood, puss, and can get a combination of other bodily fluid like sweat…. It smells worse than a dead body. It can be smelt on a person walking around with it… an off odor. periodically it will burst to drain out. The stench is profound and ungodly. The reason for a knock your sock off smell is because the gland was a swelling packet of rotting puss and blood for days, weeks, months and even years!! It’s a match because it’s a gland and zero chances of this stuff making it to the blood stream. You can lance it as much as you want.
One of the finest n greatest character actor of all time that England has ever produced during golden era.Born for this particular role followed by Mutiny on the Bounty(1935).Thnx for loading high class vintage movie.
Alexander Korda directs Charles Laughton..... Genius directs the finest screen actor ever. What a movie, what a performance. My god these guys knew what they were doing, Sublime & ageless. Thank you so much for uploading this.
An accurate depiction of a selfish man willing to do what he can to get what he wants. The best depiction yet of Henry V111. A revolting human, glad there are good men out there mind.

Thank you CCC. Watching Charles Laughton in ANYTHING is a treat. The historical accuracy of this movie is more often skewed than not, but he's so good I don't care!
How is it off? By visual, or by that of character personality. It isn't exactly feasible to expect someone to know everything about a random date in time hardly any research tells of.
I was so happy to find this as this was the first time. I saw this movie in color and it makes it feel more alive. One of the reasons why I love watching this movie is because different characters and different scenes have their own story and it's really funny. From the copes in the kitchen to the people, getting everything ready for the marriage bed was funny. Then nanny as well, trying to help. This was honestly a great movie.
Love the interaction between Charles Laughton, and his real wife, Elsa Lanchester. A marriage of more convenience than anything. In later interviews, long after Laughton's death, Lanchester confessed that in all their years of marriage together, it was never consummated. 🤣
@@XoMyLauren Yes, there was an interesting story by Scotty Bowers, who wrote that Laughton liked making 💩 sandwiches from young men Scotty "secured" for him. Apparently a true story.
Because in his private life he really was a Quasimodo. Great actor. I like him as much as Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud and Sydney Greenstreet. Old English theatrical school.
Yeah, like there’s so many things that she has done like, “no particular interest” she literally Was in full armor, heavily pregnant, defeating Scotland, while Henry was losing in France She has many interesting shit during her 24 years marriage to Henry and was a strong woman
3 oscar winners and nominee Oberon - lanchester , Donat and of course Charles . This film helped save the British film industry and the Yanks loved it , in my opinion Laughton was Britain's best ever actor - way ahead of Olivier et all . Laughton also taught acting classes and even the great Ustinov sat at his feet . Charles Laughton England's greatest ever King
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!! Charles Laughton was an excellent actor… he portrayed King Henry perfectly! His wife played the part great too! Whenever I see films with Laughton eating it kind of disgusts me now! After hearing of his “sandwich fetish” I can’t get that thought out of my head 🥺
Thank you for this upload, I couldn’t imagine anyone else other than Sir Charles Laughton to portray the great Henry the 8 th , a very methodic, born actor, irrespective of whatever role he portrays.
I watch nearly every day. I just love the costumes and the comdedic pieces. The french man chopping the english queens head. Asking the lady to remove her hat because the chopping block cannot be seen. Brilliant acting.
I do love Elsa as Anne of Cleves! So great to her when she was young, and purposely acting out so Henry wouldn't want her. She was such a good commedian, but I remember her mostly from the 1950s movies (and, of course, from The Bride of Frankenstein, when she was young, but it didn't give her much room to act). They were hysterically funny together in this movie.
What a fantastic portrayal of Henry, this is my first time watching this adaptation. It makes me feel rather sorry for Henry at times, just magnificent.
I saw an episode of "What's My Line" in which Charles Laughton was the Mystery Guest. Someone brought up this movie, and he expressed surprise that people should remember this movie, seeing as how he had done it twenty years before.
Thank you for the upload, I like the subtle colors used for this original black and white film. Elsa Lanchester was married at the time of this movie to Charles Laughton.
They don't go into it in this film, but Catherine Parr came very close to losing her head also. She got too involved in Henry's affairs when it came to religion, which Henry did not approve. In the end, she had to grovel herself back into Henry's good graces, thus saving her own life. She outlived Henry by a year and eight months.
Thanks for letting me watch this movie again,I don’t usually like Colorised versions,but your work is acceptable here….a great British picture in its day …
I love it movies like this, back in the 1900's and upwards stopping at around the 1960's making movies like this makes them look so authentic, it's like your seeing the real king Henry and how he had lived and you were there looking at all them living and just doing their daily routine, with me been invisible of course 😆... Also just to say there's a film Called The Black Knight starring Martin Lawrence, if you haven't seen it, without going into to much Detail It's about going back in time, I absolutely loved it so if you decide to give it a watch I hope you all will love it toooooooo... Let me know if you did like it or love it.. I also want to say Thank you to the uploader for putting this up and sharing your joy's in movies with us all 🤗👏💞💐..
Most excellent cinema. Colourised. Delightful theme music and a timelss story of desire and bravado to enthrall all generations. Alexander Korda's magnum opus as director. And Charles Laughton. A splendid actor without equal. An inspired classic.
Oh yes Jean! As a little child he made me cry as the Hunchback-not fear, but pity is what he elicited by his performance. These movies show what real acting is-not the garbage we have now!
"I'm Henry the 8th I am, Henry the 8th I am I am! I've been eating since 6AM, For dessert I'll have dinner again! My name's synonymous with gluttony, I'll always eat a turkey or a ham!"
I got married to the widow next door, she's been married 7 times before, and every one was an 'Enery, never a Willie or a Sam, I'm her 8th old man, I'm 'Enery , Henry the 8th , I am.
The only film about Henry VIII where he looks like his portraits.
Well, the 1977 version played by Keith Mitchell was pretty good too.
Don't forget the bbc with the 1970 Version of Henry the eighth and his sixth wives.
@@jimenagarcia32019 good, but doesn't looks like the portraits, only like someone with a stuffed costume, but very good performance.
@@justingame4459 I like this version, but the closer performer could looks like Henry was Orson Welles.
Tolle schauspielleistung

I was going to sugest Peter Ustinov should have played the part, of King H8, but realized he would just been a child.

A Henry viii performance that captures his gentle voice. Mr. Laughton is amazing. Along with the entire cast.
does you know the E8 voice?

Is there a movie with Charles Laughton fighting Robert Newton ?

Yes, there is ! 'Jamaica Inn', by Alfred Hitchcock, 1939, which Laughton also had produced.

Thank you for the data.
Charles Laughton is the best Henry VIII ever !!!! What an incredible performance.

Yes, it sure was. He, John Mills, and the women playing his oldest daughter were all wonderful.@@Michael-yd5ry
Perhaps because he found his roles exhilarating?

Delightful from start to finish ❤ great colourization, Charles Laughton and Elas Lanchester are the best of the best.
Delighted that you enjoyed the colorized version!
The new computerized colorization is so much better than the old kind!
To date I believe that has been the best portrayal and most accurate look of Henry the eighth!
How about keith
They must have had a blast filming this, it's hilarious! Can't believe I'd never got round to watching it before now.
I know why, because movies from 1933 in random categories you like aren't going to show up anytime soon.

Always one of my favorites and anything with the great Charles Laughton is gold!
The opening info about Catherine of aragon couldn't be more wrong. She was an amazingly strong woman and queen, the public loved her.
This movie was not historically accurate in many ways. It took a lot of artistic license.
Yeah. This movie was entertaining and very cheeky not accurate!
That info was written by Henry 8th himself

So many of his movies were made when he was old, so nice to see him here as a younger man.
Honestly the best representation of Henry The VIII. Like looking back in time to when the days of Henry took place. So accurate, and we'll presented
"I'm Henry the 8th I am,
Henry the 8th I am I am!
I've been eating since 6AM,
For dessert I'll have dinner again!
My name's synonymous with gluttony,
I'll always eat a turkey or a ham!"
Finish the verse! I like what you've done so far!
