Great cast, great screenplay, great characters, great story. How amazing to see a young Anthony Hopkins, way before he became the star he is today. Timothy Dalton must have peaked early, in his portrayal of King Philippe at the beginning of his reign. Hepburn and O'Toole, those giants of the acting world, play off each other with panache, vacillating between restraint and excess, love and hate. The sets are accurate and visually compelling (it's eye-opening to see kings and queens in the bleakness of the 1183 castle setting). This movie positively crackles with passion, ambition, fear, and desire. Truly a tour de force, worth every Oscar.   1     2     3   Non User
