Synopsis
L'Archiduc Alexander, un débauché, tombe amoureux de Judith Peredy, la sœur du docteur qui exerce dans le village hongrois près duquel Alexandre a un relais de chasse. Bien que Judith aime Alexander, elle l'éconduit, car son frère Eugene l'a mise en garde. N'étant pas quelqu'un à accepter facilement un refus, l'archiduc se rend dans la chambre de Judith en profitant d'une absence d'Eugene et la brutalise. Eugene arrive alors et n'est sauvé de l'épée de l'archiduc que parce que Judith tire sur l'homme qu'elle aime. Judith et Eugene sont emprisonnés à Budapest sur ordre du père d'Alexander, qui ne veut pas que son fil se marie en dessous de sa condition. Judith, sure de son amour pour Alexander, convainc les parents de celui-ci de sa sincérité et par dispense spéciale le mariage est accepté.Actors

Next morning he is surprised to find that all the town knows he is back (not surprising really as he had a big sword fight on arrival).

Don Juan prepares to flee to France but Rodrigo is killed by a jealous husband who believes he is Don Juan and all Seville now believes him dead. He attends his own magnificent funeral, but finds many discomforts now while pretending that Don Juan is dead, before finally sorting things out.

The film begins 20 years into King Henry's reign. In May 1536, immediately following the execution of his second wife, Anne Boleyn (Merle Oberon), King Henry VIII (Charles Laughton) marries Jane Seymour (Wendy Barrie), who dies in childbirth eighteen months later. He then weds a German princess, Anne of Cleves (played by Laughton's real-life wife Elsa Lanchester). This marriage ends in divorce when Anne deliberately makes herself unattractive so she can be free to marry her sweetheart. (In an imaginative and high-spirited scene, Anne "wins her freedom" from Henry in a game of cards on their wedding night). After this divorce, Henry marries the beautiful and ambitious Lady Katherine Howard (Binnie Barnes). She has rejected love all her life in favour of ambition, but after her marriage, she finally falls in love with Henry's handsome courtier Thomas Culpeper (Robert Donat) who has attempted to woo her in the past. Their liaison is discovered by Henry's court and the couple gets executed. The weak and ageing Henry consoles himself with a final marriage to Catherine Parr (Everley Gregg) who proves domineering. In the final scene, while Parr is no longer in the room, the king breaks the fourth wall, saying "Six wives, and the best of them's the worst.
