Becket 1964 Directed by Peter Glenville; Starring: every famous English actor ever

So basically in the 1960s you had older English actors who could ACT and younger upstarts who could ACT. The older and younger guys combine in this film about Becket, adviser to a corrupt king who had the audacity to tell the king that his behavior was wrong (and who suffers the consequences).

Based on a play by Jean Anouilh.

So this is a very pro-England film. Remember that the "Saxons" are the English and the "Normans" are the French. Becket is the English guy who supported England under the French oppression of Henry II (according to this movie).

Actually, I think this movie is a lot of fun to watch because these are serious actors really acting badly. The acting is way over the top and if I had to bet money I would say these guys were drunk for half the filming. These are members of an exclusive acting secret society clowning around together and making a film.  It's kind of disgraceful actually, but fun to watch.
