WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Anne Of The Thousand Days is based on the play by Maxwell Anderson, and adapted to the screen by Richard Sokolove. This Hal Wallis production stars Richard Burton as King Henry VIII and Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn in the story of one of histories most famous and most tragic love affairs.

LaserDisc Picture:
The Panavision® scope 2.35:1 frame is perfectly preserved, and thus the superb widescreen composition. Colors are rich and vivid with natural fleshtones and deep blacks for an overall pleasing picture.
