Review of The Lion in Winter (1968) by Mark Karl H — 31 Oct 2009
"of course he's got a knife, it's 1183 and were barbarians" so speaks Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Acquitane summoned by her estranged husband Henry II to a Christmas court at Chinon, where their sons plot and scheme about which one of them will inherit the throne after their parents demise.
Its a superbly witty film with lots of verbal jousting between the leads, Katharine Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton all put in career best peformances.
