This film is a palace drama with very strong and distinct characters, and it deeply portrays the desire for power of human beings. Peter Seamus Lorcan O'Toole and Katharine Houghton Hepburn bring that love-hate relationship to the fore and are the most bewildering "war couple" on screen. The writing, directing, filming, and music of this film are all top-notch, but unfortunately there are too many dialogues.
But this ancient costume film with a strong literary flavor has too many dialogues, too much like a drama.

I found this old movie just to see what Hopkins looked like when he was young. The old couple is so capable of fighting, they are simply fighters in the husband and wife. Hopkins is 30 years old and 70 years old is really not much different, except for less wrinkles, banning old actors have this feature.

Naked palace fighting drama, the real version of King Lear. It all happened in the author's fictional Christmas of 1183. Henry II and his sons fought for their own selfish interests. A remake of game theory.

Richard: I don't care what you offer Philip; I don't care what plans you make. I'll have the Aquitaine, and Alais, and the crown. I'll not give-up one to get the other; I won't trade-off Alais or the Aquitaine *to that walking pustule*! No, your loving son will not.

Richard: You haven't said you loved me.
Philip II: When the time comes.
