The most royal of the cycle of ’60s films dealing with the history and palace intrigues of medieval England, Anthony Harvey’s The Lion in Winter returns in a new restoration by Studiocanal. At Christmas Court in 1183 King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) argues with his estranged wife, Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn) over whether Prince John (Nigel Terry) or Richard the Lionheart (Anthony Hopkins in his film debut) shall inherit the throne. Complicating matters is King Philip II of France (Timothy Dalton, also his debut) who seeks his own fortune by demanding his half-sister Alais (Jane Merrow), currently Henry’s mistress, be betrothed to Richard.
Winner of three Oscars, including best actress for Katharine Hepburn.
(Anthony Harvey, 1968, UK,2:14,PG)
