Carry On Henry is a 1971 film and the 21st Carry On film, as well as another that is an Affectionate Parody of a movie/theater piece that itself is based on historical events, much like Carry On Cleo. It stars regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Terry Scott, Barbara Windsor, and Kenneth Connor who each take on historical icons in the time of the Tudor period in a Carry On parody of Anne of the Thousand Days.Henry is another movie that relies on full-on Anachronism Stew for its Rule of Funny, giving unknown historical figures at the time a bigger role, or just mixing two separate eras to add further drama. A terrorist group work under the nose of the royal family, plotting to blow the Tudor house sky high, which was a moment in history that happened in the Stuart era - after the Tudor era.Sid James stars as the famous English King Henry VIII, who's a womanizing sex-pest Dirty Old Man that has just gotten rid of his fourth wife (Patsy Rowlands) for not putting out. Minutes after her execution, he marries again to Marie of Normandy (Sims), who he later regrets the decision after trying to have sex and being repulsed by her breath smelling of garlic. Because Queen Marie is the cousin of King Francis of France (Peter Gilmore), King Henry cannot execute her without the risk of starting a war and so issues a demand that the marriage be annulled to Thomas Cromwell (Williams) and Cardinal Wolsey (Scott).The King, meanwhile, has set his sights on marrying young Bettina of Bristol (Windsor), but whether or not such a marriage would be bigamous seems to be constantly changing. The King's taster, Sir Roger de Lodgerley (Hawtrey), is constantly accused of either sleeping with or not sleeping with Queen Marie depending on what Cromwell needs a scapegoat for at the moment, and so is sentenced to increasingly ludicrous punishments, while an underground extremist group led by Lord Hampton of Wick (Connor) try to bring the Tudor dynasty to an end.Expect a Hurricane of Puns, bawdy humour, and Sid James' laugh.

All Men Are Perverts: King Henry has his fourth wife executed for not having as much sex with him as he wants, then he pawns after other women when his new wife becomes undesirable for him. Cardinal Wolsey is a mild version, who brings himself to groping Mistress Scrub when she serves him wine.

Framing the Guilty Party
 Carry On Henry / int_216dab44
comment
Framing the Guilty Party: Cardinal Wolsey and Cromwell are incredibly corrupt and Cromwell in particular is very treacherous. But the two are condemned by King Henry as traitors for doing what Henry asked them to do just so Henry can save face. Which is not exactly inaccurate for what actually happened.

All There in the Script: "The Classic Carry On Film Collection" reveals that King Henry's friend who goes hunting with him and tries to help him get with Bettina is called "Sir Thomas". Also Inverted, as despite Marjie Lawrence, John Bluthal, and William Mervyn's characters (Mistress Scrub, Moshe Montmorency, and Dr. Finlay) getting names, they are only known as "Serving Maid", "Royal Tailor" and "Physician" in cast lists.

Anachronism Stew
 Carry On Henry / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: If you are a historian, you'd probably notice glaring examples. Because of King Henry's womanizing ways, the movie doesn't point out or mention what number wife Queen Marie is. The queen played by Patsy Rowlands in the film's opening scene is implied to be Anne of Clevesnote Who looks a lot like Henry's second wife Anne Boleyn — probably because the actors were wearing the costumes from the movie about Anne Boleyn, Henry's fourth wife.note  Henry mentions that they were married for six months, and Cromwell observes that the marriage was never consummated, both true of the real Henry's marriage to Anne of Cleves; in reality, the marriage was annulled (although the two remained close friends), and Anne outlived Henry by ten years. However, there's a throwaway comment that Henry makes about moving on to wife number 4, but no other comment is said on the matter, even after he marries Bettina. Then at one point, he eyes up a new Lady-In-Waiting called Catherine Howard, which was the name of Henry VIII's fifth wife. Perhaps the writing department knew as much history as most of the audience. The imitation of the extremist group that wants to take the Tudor family down (and had a member named Fawkes with his gunpowder plot) was from the Stuart era - after the Tudor periodnote  In a Deleted Scene Fawkes is told to leave his gunpowder to his heirs, which would have removed the mistake. Sir Roger telling Cromwell "Not on your Bonaparte!". Cardinal Wolsey and Cromwell are executed together in the castle grounds, but when they were accused and arrested during King Henry's reign, they were actually sentenced at different times and different ways. Francis I mentions his wife having been guillotined. France introduced the guillotine in 1792.

Artistic License – History: King Henry's friend Sir Thomas tells him that he's got a plan to get Bettina naked, but Henry isn't convinced, making Thomas say, "There are more ways to peel a banana", but bananas wouldn't be in Britain for another hundred years. Bathing in the Tudor period was really rare. Many did not believe in taking baths and some believed that it caused illness (the sewage system hadn't been improved at the time and the waste sometimes managed to slip into the water system).note Queen Elizabeth I was nicknamed the cleanest royal in England at the time because she reportedly had four baths a year. Bettina taking a bath might have been the case for some rich women, but it was an obvious shot for cheap fanservice.

Although, to be fair to King Henry, Sir Roger and Queen Marie deserved it as their affair was high treason. Henry is also punished by knowing a child not of his blood will follow him on the throne, potentially meaning the extinction of the royal bloodline (purity of royal blood was Serious Business to 16th-century royalty).

Punny Name
 Carry On Henry / int_6d7026fa
comment
Punny Name: Sir Roger de Lodgerley, an obvious reference to the limerick of Roger the Lodger. Mistress Scrub, a joke on "scrubber" (British slang for a promiscuous woman). Lord Hampton of Wick, a joke on the fact that "Hampton Wick" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for dick. He later gets knighted and becomes known as Hampton, Prince of Berks, with "berk" being rhyming slang for, well... Sir Roger is mentioned as living at Bedside Manor, a play on "bedside manner". Charles, Earl of Bristol, as both "Charlies" and "Bristols" are Cockney Rhyming Slang for "breasts". Unsurprisingly the film makes jokes on both of these when King Henry sees his buxom daughter, Bettina. One of King Francis' soldiers is called Bidet, a specialized bathroom fixture for washing your rear.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Carry On Henry / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Sir Roger de Lodgerley is tortured several times after his adulterous adventures with Queen Marie, which led to her pregnancy out of wedlock. After spending a month in an Iron Maiden, he gives in to signing Cromwell's contract, but not before having a drink of water first, which exposes a lot of Invisible Holes in his body. He isn't seen in the film after that, probably implying that he eventually died. If that's the case, at least Cromwell managed to get the contract signed by him before he officially kicked the bucket.

comment
Karma Houdini: King Henry has Sir Roger tortured for weeks on end, repeatedly has Queen Marie imprisoned in the Tower of London, and has Cardinal Wolsey and Cromwell beheaded, yet his only punishment is that he loses Bettina to King Francis. Although, to be fair to King Henry, Sir Roger and Queen Marie deserved it as their affair was high treason. Henry is also punished by knowing a child not of his blood will follow him on the throne, potentially meaning the extinction of the royal bloodline (purity of royal blood was Serious Business to 16th-century royalty).

comment
No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Queen Marie is a Composite Character of most of Henry VIII's queens. Her non-English origins and having a powerful European King as a relative is a reference to Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves. Her never having intercourse with Henry is inspired by Henry's infamous open declaration of such with his marriage to Anne of Cleves. Her affair with a knight in Henry's service is in reference to Katherine Howard who had an affair with Thomas Culpepper. Her becoming pregnant and giving Henry an heir is in reference to Jane Seymour. Her arrest and imprisonment in the tower is in reference to Anne Boleyn.

Based on a Great Big Lie: In the opening credits, between the title and the cast list, there is an expository crawl claiming that a manuscript has recently been discovered by one William Cobbler claiming that Henry VIII had two more wives for a total of eight. The document was thought to be the work of Cromwell, but they now know that the story is entirely Cobbler's from beginning to end.

Delegation Relay: Conte di Pisa tells Cardinal Wolsey that to annul King Henry's marriage to Queen Marie, the Pope needs to be paid 5,000 pieces of gold. Cardinal Wolsey tells Cromwell, but gives the figure as 10,000, to skim half of it for himself. Cromwell then does the same when he tells King Henry it'll be 20,000 pieces of gold.

Who's Your Daddy?: Queen Marie eventually becomes pregnant... to King Henry's astonishment, since they have still not consummated the marriage, yet she has had it off with Sir Roger, Cromwell, Cardinal Wolsey, and many others. However, political considerations eventually force him to regard the child as his own. The father is Sir Roger de Lodgerley.

All Women Are Lustful: Because of King Henry trying to avoid his wife, Queen Marie becomes sexually frustrated, and doesn't care where (or who) she'll get her sex from. She flirts with Cromwell who accidentally knocks her out, the already aroused Cardinal Wolsey, and Sir Roger who may or may not be responsible for her pregnancy.
