English Summary:
Carry On Henry is a 1971 British comedy film, the 21st release in the series of 31 Carry On films (1958–1992). It tells a fictionalised story involving Sid James as Henry VIII, who chases after Barbara Windsor's character Bettina. James and Windsor feature alongside other regulars Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Terry Scott and Kenneth Connor. This was the first time that Williams and Connor appeared together since Carry On Cleo seven years previously. The original alternative title was to be Anne of a Thousand Lays, a pun on the Richard Burton film Anne of the Thousand Days, and Sid James wears exactly the same cloak that Burton wore in that film.
The film opens with a passage, which states:
This film is based on a recently discovered manuscript by one William Cobbler, which reveals that Henry VIII did in fact have two more wives. Although it was first thought that Cromwell originated the story, it is now known to be definitely all Cobbler's... from beginning to end.
Henry VIII (Sid James) has his wife (Patsy Rowlands) beheaded and quickly marries Marie of Normandy (Joan Sims). This union was organised at the behest of bumbling Cardinal Wolsey (Terry Scott) as Marie is cousin of King Francis I of France. Henry's wedding night ardour dies when he finds she reeks of garlic, but she refuses to stop eating it. Marie gets frustrated so soon receives amorous advances from Sir Roger de Lodgerley (Charles Hawtrey who, while still in his camp persona, is playing against type as a ladies' man).
Hungarian Summary:
A helyszín VIII. Henrik udvara, ahol az uralkodó épp Mária normand királynőt veszi nőül. Ezután pedig jó szokás szerint a nászéjszakára kerül sor. Illetve csak kerülne, mert ahogy a király a királynő közelébe kerül, iszonyatos bűzt érez kiáramlani neje szájából. A kellemetlen szag oka az, hogy a királynő megőrül a fokhagymáért, és minden este megeszik egy gerezdet. A király válni kíván. Ám épp, amikor kimondanák a válást, kiderül, hogy a királynő gyermeket vár. Ekkor adódik a kérdés, hogy kié a gyerek, mert biztosan nem a királyé, hisz ő hozzá sem nyúlt. Innentől kezdve számos kacagtató helyzeten keresztül követhetjük végig, hogyan kerül a király egyik galibából a másikba.
