MARCIVE 12/19/07Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, John Gielgud, Donald Wolfit, Martita Hunt, Pamela Brown.Despite differences in rank and background, King Henry II and Thomas Becket are lifelong friends. The King is in constant conflict with the Church, which refuses to contribute financing to his wars in France, and jealously guards the tax-free status granted it by previous monarchs. When the Archbishop of Canterbury dies, Henry has a brilliant idea: rather than another pious cleric loyal to Rome, he will appoint his old friend, Thomas Becket--technically a deacon--to the post. Unfortunately, Becket takes the job seriously, holding devotion to God and the Church above his loyalty to the throne, or the person of its inhabitant. In opposition to Henry, he proves abler than his predecessors do, and the clash of two powerful personalities leads to destruction.MPAA rating: PG-13; for some sexual content and violence.DVD, region 1, anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo.- Subjects: Biographical films.; Feature films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Film adaptations.; Historical films.; Historical films.; Historical; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Henry II, King of England, 1133-1189; Thomas, à Becket, Saint, 1118?-1170; Henry II, King of England, 1133-1189; Thomas, à Becket, Saint, 1118?-1170; Christian saints; Feature films.; Friendship; Inglaterra; Kings and rulers; Loyalty; Privy councils; Gran Bretaña; Inglaterra; Inglaterra; Friendship; Privy councils;
