Lion in Winter
 
   

Product Description

 
Set over Christmas of 1183, this classic royal costume dramas concerns Henry II's effort to choose a worthy successor. Powerful Henry II (Peter O'Toole) favors his youngest son John (Nigel Terry), while his strong-willed wife Eleanor (Katherine Hepburn) feels the honor should be bestowed upon eldest son Richard the Lionhearted (Anthony Hopkins, in his screen debut). This disagreement leads the family to a war of wills that will stress every bond of love, trust, and honor. This acclaimed adaptation of James Goldman's play was also the first film for Timothy Dalton. Academy Award Nominations: 7, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Peter O'Toole. Academy Awards: 3, including Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Actress--Katharine Hepburn (shared with Barbra Streisand - "Funny Girl").

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2000
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of repartee and banter, this movie's for you!
Review: The Lion in Winter (1964)

The Bottom Line: Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn shine in this film; if you enjoy The Sopranos and other dysfunctional families, watch The Lion in Winter.

The Lion in Winter: The Sopranos are amateurs compared to this family!

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of the best films to ever come out of the 60's. Hepburn and O'Toole are fantastic.
