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

Theatrical and talky, but it's good talk by great performers.

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

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