The Lion in Winter – 4K 01/25/25

Katharine Hepburn gets one more first-class filmic go-round, in James Goldman’s highly entertaining story of home life with those wild and crazy Plantagenets … how do three angry sons, one imprisoned Queen, the King of France and a frustrated paramour decide who gets the throne? Peter O’Toole is likewise excellent under the fine direction of Anthony Harvey, as are Nigel Terry, John Castle, Jane Merrow and new film personalities Timothy Dalton and Anthony Hopkins. Douglas Slocombe’s cinematography and John Barry’s music score are a big boost, in 4K Ultra HD from Studiocanal Vintage Classics.
