Binnie Barnes plays the important role of Katheryn Howard, who put aside her love for Thomas Culpeper for the crown of queen and lived and died- regretting it. Wendy Barrie, Merle Oberon and Everley Gregg are the other wives and other important roles are portrayed by Miles Mander, Claud Alllator, Lady Tree, Robert Donat and Franklyn Dyall.
