Enter the lion's den with Film Studies Quarterly Review's original The Lion in Winter (1968) Trailer! 🍿🎥🎞kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWuJ24-JZprKido.html

Timothy Dalton's sly sass to Peter O'Toole's bombast! Such a great match up!

Every single actor in this film is exquisite but Peter O'Toole is operating on another astral plane. Utter delight. Magnificent.

"I am Eleanor, who might have been your mother." This woman had no chill lmao

Haha. For sure! That was the directors primary directions to all actors: don't hold back. A great scene. Thank you for watching!

Louis VIl was quite driven to distraction by Eleanor!

Simply one of the greatest films ever made. Perfect screenplay, beyond perfect cast.

The greatest. What a cast.

Was there ever a man more gorgeous than Timothy Dalton?

When made up to be gorgeous. Other actors were equally so - O’Toole in His early films, for an obvious start.

"I know your plans, and expectations. I know what you will do, and what you won't do. You've burbled every piece of strategy you've got. To these aged eyes boy that's what winning looks like!"

Love the flick and the clip. But a bit of volume leveling on the outro would not go amiss.

Lion in Winter is a great film. The acting is superb. Thank you for the audio note. We will make sure the outro audio is leveled better. We hope you keep watching and subscribe. Best!

@@filmstudiesqtlyreview Y'all never made the correction, the fucking trumpet blaring out of nowhere at roughly 5 times the volume of the dialogue, even the shouting, was incredibly jarring and unwelcome.

What a movie! One of my favorites.

Hopkins and Tim being perceived as gays in this is something I never expect. Only 60s baby~

More vintage ham from O' Toole ...

Yes, but where's the part where the man behind th curtain says "you turd!"?

Is that supposed to be a Christmas tree? Back then? Seriously....

Henry is meeting King Philip. "King" Richard is only a prince in this and is Henry's son.

Not one bit reminds me of Pumpkinhead. No class, no brain, just a scammer, and scumbag developer. He just lives by PT Barnam and says "There's a sucker born every minute."

Not at all, there's no mindless incoherent babbling, and as far as I can tell, not a single lie was told.

Starts well, but rapidly goes down hill: the main plot - the argument - just goes on and on and quickly cease to make sense. Then there are the endless scenes where it all comes to a head ... but doesn´t only to go on and on again. It would have been better if more of it were left on the cutting-room floor, especially the entire scene towards the end with Henry and Eleanor. Also, John´s gormless look wears thin after a few minutes and a Christmas tree 700 years too early! Not a very good film.

At least we didn't have to endure Richard Burton going through his repertoire of facial expressions ( from A to B ) accompanied by loud bellowing of his lines. ! His death scene in Becket is comedy gold. I can only assume the Director was too much in awe of him to do several retakes ?

Are you kidding it is one of the best movies, the acting is out of this world, the dialoque snappy and clever. Guess you don't get dysfunctional families.

Two points I agree with (anachronistic tree and Nigel Terry’s ridiculous interpretation of John). The rest is absolutely superb and certainly ‘makes sense’

Probably Henry taught Philip more in one Christmas day than poor old Luis ever did
