Peter O Toole was an outstanding force of nature, what a voice, what a presence! Best and most handsome male actor on screen ever.

Glad to see William Marshall in this scene. Truly the greatest Knight. Read his story if you want a real boys own tale.

Ever notice when there is a strong King of England the next son seems to lose everything they gain.

Inprisioning your wife I guess is one way to keep her in check. Show's how messed up that family is.

"She would not miss this for the world" - indeed not. The two great players meet to have a game for Christmas. Their pawns: their children, the king of France, even Henry's lover. Their board: the Angevin empire. After much scheming and maneuvering they agree on a draw and look forward to the next round at Easter in their hope that their match would last forever...

Mildly interesting fact: Pineapples were introduced to Europe in the 17th century...about 500 years AFTER Henry II's reign.

Yeah, that creeped me out too, so I choose to ignore it. Actually there are lots of things said in this play / movie to creep you out "you threw me out of bed for Richard", " your father...you were in the next room when he did it", etc. No wonder they are all twisted "royal corkscrews" Still love the film though. O'Toole's a giant of an actor in this one. Henry's a "marvel of a man"... and I'd want Alais too!

Until recently, it was a right of passage in Britain. Particularly amongst the ruling classes. I remember seeing a 1950s published book called 'The Public Schools' (private schools in Britain) where homosexuality is discussed as being quite normal for teenage boys, though only as "a phase". Odd when you consider that it was illegal until 1967. Then again, the British rich and powerful have always carried on outside the law.
