Becket

Richard Burton as Thomas Becket, Peter O'Toole as King Henry II of England, John Gielgud as King Louis VII of France, and Cardinal Zambelli (Gino Cervi) play significant roles in the tumultuous relationship between Henry II of England and his friend-turned-bishop Thomas Becket. Based on the Jean Anouilh play by the same name, the film is a dramatic adaptation that explores the complex conflict between the King's desire for absolute loyalty from the Church and Becket's dedication to serving God.
