Sex & Nudity
-
- None. Though Vanessa Redgrave's performance might be seen as slightly suggestive or indecent, there is no nudity or sex in this film.
- The plot turns on Henry VIII's attempt to annul his arguably incestuous marriage, for which he had received a special dispensation from the pope.
Violence & Gore
-
- There is a beheading, but it is not inside the frame.
Profanity
-
- One use of "bitch"
- There are two profane exclamations as in God d***
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- No drugs.
- Richard Rich (John Hurt) drinks at one point to steady his nerves.
- There is drinking at Henry VIII's wedding.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The beheading is not shown onscreen. Nothing in this film is actually frightening.
- The dialogue at the trial is in itself intense, but delivered in a very restrained manner (except for Leo McKern's performance as Thomas Cromwell).
- Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) is subject to sudden fits of rage when contradicted.
