Title:
The Lion in Winter
Synopsis:
In 1183 Henry II summons his sons Richard, John, and Geoffrey to join him and his prison-bound wife Eleanor at Chinon for a family Christmas, along with King Philip II of France and his sister Alais, Henry’s mistress. Philip is insisting Alais now marries John as agreed years before else he wants her dowry, the lands of the Vexen, back. As Eleanor has already given the province of Aquitaine to Richard, the outcome of this may decide the very future of England. Everyone present except perhaps Alais are masters of double-dealing and deceit, so it could be a lively Yuletide.
A fierce personal drama adapted by James Goldman from his play of Britain’s Henry II deliberating over a successor on a fateful Christmas Eve. Having been accustomed to his wife’s long exile to a faraway castle, King Henry (Peter O’Toole) takes a step in reuniting his family, however hoping to maintain a stronghold on his Empire and prevent the balance of power to shifting to his wife, Eleanor, or to one of his sons. Despite Henry’s efforts to keep his wife at arm-(and throne’s)-length, Eleanor will assure that her power will not only be restored, but that it will last long past her own passing. Also starring Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins (in his feature debut), John Castle, Nigel Terry, Jane Merrow, and Timothy Dalton. Directed by Anthony Harvey.
