Anna Boleyn

(1920)Directed by Ernst Lubitsch118 minHistory, Drama

Nobody at court can say why a second wife is wanted while Queen Catherine still lives, yet Henry VIII (Emil Jannings) has already set his mind on Anna Boleyn (Henny Porten). Ernst Lubitsch, working in 1920 Germany, tells her story in six acts. Her marriage to the king will pull England into political and religious turmoil, and her own life stands as the first thing at risk.
