Based on a novel by Robin Cook, this riveting film delivers twists, turns, and a tale of intrigue you won't soon forget.
For the first time in more than 40 years, experience two of the greatest actors of our time in one of the most honored motion pictures in history. Peter O'Toole delivers an electrifying performance as the mischievous Henry II, who surprises England by naming his fellow rogue and trusted valet Thomas Becket (Richard Burton in a career defining role) as Chancellor. But when Henry next appoints him Archbishop Of Canterbury, Becket shocks the world by openly defying the King with his newfound faith and compassion.
"I lost $750 million," Arthur says, "Of course, that was when $750 million was a lot of money." His loss is your entertainment gain in this delightful riches-to-rags-to-riches sequel directed by comedy veteran Bud Yorkin (All In the Family). Effervescent Dudley Moore takes up where he left of as the multimillionaire title prankster. Liza Minnelli is his scintillatingly sassy spouse Linda and with a dash of divine intervention, stately John Gielgud also reappears in his Oscar-winning role as Arthur's acerbic valet.
Hamlet, son of the king of Denmark, is summoned home for his father's funeral and his mother's wedding to his uncle. In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, whom he hates anyway, murdered his father.
In olden days, as Cole Porter famously observed, a mere glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. So it's heartening to report that this 1965 black comedy still delivers on its billing as "the motion picture with something to offend everyone." Tony Richardson, fresh off the liberating Tom Jones, brings Evelyn Waugh's self-described "little nightmare" to the screen with all its sacrilegious shocks (and then some!) intact, courtesy of screenwriters Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove) and Christopher Isherwood.
Sir Richard Attenborough's 1982 multiple-Oscar winner (including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Ben Kingsley) is an engrossing, reverential look at the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, who introduced the doctrine of nonviolent resistance to the colonized people of India and who ultimately gained the nation its independence. Kingsley is magnificent as Gandhi as he changes over the course of the three-hour film from an insignificant lawyer to an international leader and symbol.
England's finest athletes have begun their quest for glory in the 1924 Olympic Games. Success brings honor to their nation.
