A trashy, gossipy, anachronistic marital drama, about the royal squabbles of Henry II and exiled wife, is well-acted by Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn, who won a third Oscar for her wicked scheming; watch for Anthony Hopkins in his screen debut

You'll either love or reject the idea of history as sitcom; either way, the lead performances are hard to deny.

...outdoorsy and fun, full of the kind of plotting and action people used to go to just plain movies for.

One of the joys which movies provide too rarely is the opportunity to see a literate script handled intelligently. The Lion in Winter triumphs at that difficult task...
