Katharine Hepburn earned one of her five Oscars for portraying the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine. Even at Christmas, Eleanor and King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) can’t resist engaging in a battle of royal wits that pits elder son Richard (Anthony Hopkins) against his brothers, while the cunning King Philip of France (Timothy Dalton) has a few cards to play himself. Fueled by clever dialogue and rich history, this ruthless chess game reveals deep truths about love, power and the desire for both. D: Anthony Harvey, UK, 1968, 134m
