This film is a palace drama with very strong and distinct characters, and it deeply portrays the desire for power of human beings. Peter Seamus Lorcan O'Toole and Katharine Houghton Hepburn bring that love-hate relationship to the fore and are the most bewildering "war couple" on screen. The writing, directing, filming, and music of this film are all top-notch, but unfortunately there are too many dialogues.
But this ancient costume film with a strong literary flavor has too many dialogues, too much like a drama.

Richard: I don't care what you offer Philip; I don't care what plans you make. I'll have the Aquitaine, and Alais, and the crown. I'll not give-up one to get the other; I won't trade-off Alais or the Aquitaine *to that walking pustule*! No, your loving son will not.

Richard: You haven't said you loved me.
Philip II: When the time comes.
