Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) is determined to find the culprit who stole the extra strawberries, in Edward Dmytryk's 1954 adaptation of Herman Wouk novel and Stanley Roberts' screenplay. Nominated for 7 Academy Awards.
Henry VIII (Robert Shaw) arrives at the estate of Sir Thomas More (Paul Scofield), the new Lord Chancellor, to ask him if he will support the drive for divorce. Robert Shaw's performance in this 1966 Oscar winning film as Henry VIII is a wonderful contrast to Richard Burton's as done in Anne of A Thousand Days. http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=F7VMGeWOE BA

Namless (Jet Li) a low level civil servant relates to the King of Qin how he defeated the fabled assassin Sky (Donnie Yen) in director Yimou Zhang's 2002 dazzling tale of ancient China.

Madame Carala (Jeanne Moreau) searches the streets of Paris for her lover and co-conspirator in director Louis Malle's 1958 debut.

Here is the best of both, an enchantingly beautiful Jeanne Moreau walking in the city of lights to the haunting notes of Miles Davis.
Anne Boleyn (Genevieve Bujold) makes a bold move in giving King Henry VIII (Richard Burton) a way to get what they both want, and placing them at odds with the Catholic Church.
