I'm always surprised when a movie really grabs me emotionally. It is always unexpected, but you never forget such movies.I just watched the film, 'Anne of a thousand days' with Richard Burton. It reduced me to tears.
The intrigue and drama of the lives of the royal family is intense. King Henry the eighth had Anne Boleyn executed on trumped up charges because she did not bear him a son. In the film Anne refused to abdicate so that her daughter Elisabeth would be in line for the succession to the throne.
Anne Boleyn was the mother of queen Elizabeth the first.
