Chief Chick Comments

This remake of a BBC movie stars two Americans as Anne and Mary Boleyn. Anne, the eldest, is manipulated willingly by her Uncle who is powerful at court and her father to attract the King who has no male heir. However, Mary becomes his mistress shortly after her marriage. Eventually Anne comes back from the French court and beguiles Henry and convinces him to break with the Catholic Church changing the fate of England forever. We mostly know the story but without knowing about Mary and their brother George. Very intense and interesting. Note: I wish the fashions, while interesting, would have been ramped up a bit. The jewelry was interesting as well.
