Outstanding historical piece set in the Middle Ages about the friendship between King Henry II and Becket, a man to be appointed head of the Catholic Church of England. The marvelous performances and the chemistry between Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton are seldom surpassed. Watch for the brief appearance of John Gielgud. A must for history buffs!
