Review of The Lion in Winter (1968) by Mike S — 17 Dec 2009
Talk about an actor's movie. The film feels to me like an acting demonstration, rather than a film. But mind you, it does have such a great cast, especially O'Toole and Hopkins, and lets not forget the ever brilliant Hepburn who won her third Oscar for this role.
There was some issue for me seeing Hopkins and Hepburn together. A modern day actor with a classic day actress. It was very strange, like seeing Bruce Willis in a movie with Humphrey Bogart or something.
