Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1948 play by Maxwell Anderson, Anne of the Thousand Days is a play about Henry VIII and his marriage to Anne Boleyn.After having ditched his first wife, Katharine of Aragon, Henry sets his sights on Mary Boleyn. He changes course and heads for her sister, Anne. They wed, but their bliss ends when she gives birth to a daughter, instead of the son Henry wants. Afterwards, Henry goes for Jane Seymour and tries to find a way out of his current marriage.Because of its subject matter, Studios weren't eager to film the play just after its debut. The film version, directed by Charles Jarrott and starring Richard Burton and Geneviève Bujold, came out in 1969, shortly after The Hays Code was abandoned. Out of its 10 Academy Award nominations, its only win was for its elaborate costumes.

comment
Artistic License – History: Anne was not given the "choice" of her life in exchange for a divorce from Henry and having Elizabeth declared a bastard. She was only ever condemned to death — but this invention allows for the drama to remain alive between Henry and Anne, as opposed to his will ruling completely unopposed. Also, Anne was hardly "barely 18" as the movie poster suggests. Although we don't know exactly how old Anne was, (most) modern historians think she was around 25 when Henry first noticed her and around 32 when they married.

comment
Altar Diplomacy: King Henry VIII feels free to pursue Anne Boleyn because his marriage to Katherine of Aragon was made to cement a treaty. As he put it so succinctly: "I do not love that woman. I did not marry her. That was a marriage of state: England married Spain." (This is actually a big fat lie: Henry defiantly married Katherine because he was in love with her. But then, Henry VIII and truth have never had a cordial relationship.)

comment
Affectionate Nickname: Henry calls Anne "Nan" (a contraction of "Mine Anne") to show affection; he does this even when she clearly despises him. (Her uncle also calls her Nan.) Henry also calls his first wife, Katherine, "Kate," when they're alone, possibly hinting to their shared past when they were quite close.
