Review of Becket (1964) by Steve P — 18 Jul 2013
An interesting costume drama on the lives of England's King Henry 2 and Thomas Becket. Peter O'Toole is all bombast and vanity as the king. Richard Burton plays Thomas Becket with a spirituality I'd never thought possible.
Good historical fiction and it's definitely worth a look if you like classic films. John Gielgud is great as French King Louis VII. Recommended.
