...better get on to his business. Each of the six queens is dutifully trotted out, and as some of them were in real life fascinating and unfascinating and some unfascinating, so are they in the picture. But there is neither ebb nor flow in Mr. Laughton himself; he is equal to every demand, be it lusty humour or Henry's regal kind of lechery, and he has made Henry, although a buffoon, a superbly consistent and human one. No comic possibility of the Tudor coarseness has been left unexplored, no detail in palatial decor neglected, no outlet for photographic ingenuity...
...more fun. He never tried to tell them what to paint or how to paint, gratefully accepted any canvas they would let him have. A great deal of his stock he got for nothing, and when bills were due and customers non existent, Mary Cassatt, an artist not only equal in ability with the best of the Impressionists but with a comforting supply of good U.

Throughout the meet...

It is reminiscent of the celebrated British Whitley Report on capital and labour, which provided for the establishment in each industry of a Joint Standing Industrial Council, in which the industrialists and the workers had equal numerical representation. The Whitley Report did not set any limits to the power of these Councils; it set them up, and having set them up, found them good, because they were roughly "democratic" in their composition and did not affect any of the serious problems of a modern industrial society...
