Carry On Henry

A great guy with his 'chopper'!

197189 min6.1 / 10

A bawdy, irreverent British comedy that mines Henry VIII's marital troubles for broad slapstick and double entendre, prioritizing laughs over historical accuracy or emotional depth.

Henry VIII has just married Marie of Normandy, and is eager to consummate their marriage. Unfortunately for Henry, she is always eating garlic, and refuses to stop. Deciding to get rid of her in his usual manner, Henry has to find some way of doing it without provoking war with Marie's cousin, the King of France. Perhaps if she had an affair...
