Facts about Anne of the Thousand Days

Although "Anne of the Thousand Days" opened on Broadway in 1948, it had to wait until 1969 to be filmed, due to its frank discussions of adultery, illegitimacy, and incest, on which the storyline relies heavily. The old censorship code still existed in the 1940s and 1950s, and would not have allowed a play in which these subjects were discussed to be filmed, no matter how tastefully.
In the original 1948-49 Broadway production, Rex Harrison played Henry VIII and Joyce Redman was Anne Boleyn.
Olivia Hussey was the first choice for the role of Anne, but she turned the role down due to personal problems she was dealing with at the time.
