Goofs

When Henry and Anne are playing chess, the chess board is set up improperly. The chess board has a black square in the lower right square. That square must be white.

In one scene Mary and her mother Catherine of Aragon are talking, it is very obvious that Anne is Queen. When Anne was Queen, Mary and her mother were forbidden to see each other, yet the movie shows Catherine and Mary talking about Henry and Anne's marriage.

In a few scenes in the movie - when Anne and Henry bicker about the Act of Succession and when Anne and Elizabeth are playing before Anne's arrest are two - there is paneling on the walls, the problem with the paneling being that they are carvings of Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Howard's badges. Now one could understand that Catherine of Aragon's may have still been up but Catherine Howard didn't have a badge then, she was just a young girl.

Quotes

King Henry VIII: If some young man wrote this song for you, Anne, what would you say to him?

Share this

Anne: Doesn't do that well. Not as well as I've known it done. But it's the one arm I want - for some God-knows-what reason. You do everything badly - everything awkwardly - and I love it the way you do it.

Share this

Anne: You make love as you eat, with a great deal of noise and no subtlety!
