Katherine of Aragon & The Private Life of Henry VIII (1932)

posted by AcidBanter

I was about to watch 'The Private Life of Henry VIII' when a título card appeared in the first frame explaining that Katherine of Aragon does not appear in the film because 'her story is of no particular interest'!

I refused to watch the film after that. The nerve to deem Katherine of Aragon uninteresting! She was a fascinating woman - strong, kind, respected, brave. And those are just some words to describe how great she is!

In this dia and age, there has been so much written on the six wives of Henry VIII, and many mais that declare Anne Boleyn as the greatest of them all, while the others have been neglected. Indeed, Tremlett's biography is the first since the early seventies to focus solely on Henry's first Queen. And it proves long overdue. Tremlett gives us the portrait of a woman who was not merely a matronly wife who defied a king; she was a strong willed and highly intelligent...
