    A reasonable comedy from the Carry on stable.

    The period Carry Ons were always the best ones for me, and this Elizabethan farce is one of the best entries in the series. Charles Hawtery's torture scenes are pretty funny in a lame cartoonish kind of way!

    Its a Carry on film.....its a classic but cheesy as you would expect...

    An outstanding spoof of historical costume dramas, "Carry On Henry" is one of the best, if not THE best, of the Carry On series. Sid James is in great form as the frustrated King Henry VIII, with fine support from Kenneth Williams & Terry Scott as the schemers Cromwell & Wolsey, ...( read more)Joan Sims as the buxom, garlic-addicted queen, Charles Hawtrey as her unlikely paramour, and Barbara Windsor as the giggly maiden pursued by the king. The performers are all at their best, the script is packed with clever gags, and the production values could compete with any "serious" period piece of the time. Highly recommended to both fans and newcomers to the series.

    tounge in cheek as usual surrounding henry VIII and his wives, but this one surrounds the events of trying to get a divorce.
