Not so much your pop fueled disney songs in the traditional sense but it does have a lovely score.
NOW! WALT DISNEY BRINGS NEW EXCITEMENT TO ROMANCE! We just wish he'd brought some more fun facts as well.
Walt Disney green lit this film as he thought it would be nominated for Best Picture Academy Award at the 1954 Oscars. It wasn't.
Rosalie Crutchley - here playing Henry VIII's first wife - would play his sixth and final wife in The Six Wives of Henry VIII: Catherine Parr (1970).
Towards the end of the movie Mary Tudor (Glynis Johns) asks King Henry (James Robertson Justice) to make Charles Brandon Earl of Suffolk (Factually correct). But Henry then twice says Southwark (Pronounced "Suthark") instead of Suffolk
Unfortunately this highly underrated movie is not on Disney+ but you can rent it here on Amazon.
