There are almost no extra shots or any sloppy editing on the editing, of course, such efficient characterization and a few good actors also contributed to it. The first hour or so was the most exciting when everyone tried each other's quarrels, but after showing their cards in the middle, they didn't maintain the intensity. "We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside." Ugh…

I found this old movie just to see what Hopkins looked like when he was young. The old couple is so capable of fighting, they are simply fighters in the husband and wife. Hopkins is 30 years old and 70 years old is really not much different, except for less wrinkles, banning old actors have this feature.

Henry II: I'm villifying you for God's sake - pay attention!

Eleanor of Aquitaine: And when you die, which is regrettable but necessary, what will happen to frail Alais and her pruny prince? You can't think Richard's going to wait for your grotesque to grow.
Henry II: You wouldn't let him do a thing like that.
Eleanor of Aquitaine: Let him? I'd push him through the nursery door.
Henry II: You're not that cruel.
Eleanor of Aquitaine: Don't fret. We'll wait until you're dead to do it.
Henry II: Eleanor, what do you want?
Eleanor of Aquitaine: Just what you want, a king for a son. You can make more, I can't. You think I want to disappear? One son is all I've got, and you can blot him out and call me cruel? For these ten years you've lived with everything I've lost, and loved another woman through it all, and I am cruel? I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!
