Anna Boleyn
Deception (1920) belongs among the major historical films of Lubitsch’s German career, in which, after the success of Madame DuBarry, the director returned to subjects involving royal power, sexuality, and social rise or fall. This time he moved from France to England, telling the story of Henry VIII’s second wife, who gradually loses control over her own fate.
