(m48 and m49) anne of thousand days and bridge

anne of the thousand days was based on a play written by maxwell anderson, imitating shakespeare and quite good with richard burton at the top of his form. genevieve bujold is not much of an actress and this obviously weakens it. but i now have some idea of the first two wives of henry the 8th and the things that drove him to establish the church of england- a desire for a woman and a desire for a son is what this movie says.
bridge at remarge was mediocre and i watched it with one eye. inspired by a true story and the bridge over the river kwai. george segal and ben gazarra are fun to watch, but it was not much of a movie. B for anne and C- for bridge.
