Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - nytimes.com - screenonline.org.uk - moviemail-online.co.uk: «Henry is a proud monarch who flies in the face of the Church in seeking to divorce Queen Katherine. As Cardinal Wolsey attempts to bend Rome to the King's wishes, the court reverberates with political intrigue and accusations of treachery. The verbal jousting of West and Bloom illuminates this rare production of Shakespeare's 'last' play. Filmed entirely on location in castles and stately homes, the Shakespeare Association of America considered it the best of the BBC series».
