Great historical drama
, January 11, 2000Reviewer: mreynolds1957 - See all mreynolds1957's reviewsThis is a "must see" movie for all Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole fans. Also should be seen by all high school students as it is movie about the events of early England. One note, this movie desparately needs to be restored and moved to DVD format. I have it on Laserdisc and the sound could be better. Still this movie should be seen by all! ...
