This movie was made because the UK had this policy of keeping some money from their box office from the studio and encouraged studios to reinvest it in the British film industry. This movie was not a success at all, and it's kind of hard to say why. It is the story of Queen Mary of England, king Henry's sister. The story is that Lady Mary is this very free spirited woman with a lot of personality, and she has this very nice relationship with her older brother, who is King Henry the 8th. Eventually it transpires that for reasons of politics, the king wants to marry his sister off to the king of France. The entertaining thing about the movie is the relationship between King Henry the 8th and Mary. Mary is played by this really charismatic actress, and she plays the part really well just over the top and Henry also is played as this over the top, larger than life character. The craziest part about the whole inaccuracy of the movie is there's this big thing where the love interest originally wants to go to America to start his life, but England didn't have any colonies during the reign of King Henry the 8th. That started mostly under his daughter Elizabeth and his nephew James the first Although, I think if you're watching a movie a Disney live action movie from the 1950s, and you're expecting historical accuracy I think you're you're barking up the wrong tree. The actors are very charismatic, and they perform the roles quite well, so, but the plot is kind of laughable.
