The Lion in Winter
Movie Information
In Brief: The Lion in Winter may not be a great movie, but as an historical romp that affords the chance of seeing two champion scene-stealers — Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn — go at each other, it's undeniably entertaining. This tale of three sons and their strong-willed mother attempting to force Henry II into choosing an heir is essentially history as domestic comedy. Who's to say that's wrong?
