Review of Becket (1964) by Indira S — 12 Dec 2012
Burton and O'Toole are terrific in a film that appears to be hovering on the cusp of a new era. It flits between modern historical drama and old-fashioned epic, with great performances from a new generation of actors, and a score and cinematography straight from a 1940s Michael Curtiz movie.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Gripping stuff.
