I’m not convinced it’s the best picture of the year, but I think Peter O’Toole’s performance is of Oscar quality, and Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton deserve nominations for their supporting roles as Richard and Philip. As for Katharine Hepburn, she is magnificent; what other actress could have played this role? Anthony Harvey, an experienced editor, has performed as a virtuoso in his second film as a director. Roger Ebert, 1968.

Literate, powerful, and impeccably acted entertainment. Andy Kaiser
