Search: Starring Peter O'Toole

Where Fry succeeds so well is allowing the intrinsic innocence of these brittle butterflies to be exposed without mockery.

This is not an erotic movie, true there are copious scenes of copulation... but Brass doesn't linger on them long enough for them to become titillating, he has to show something gross and/or bloody in the same scene.

It belongs on the big screen, to a world of cinematic sensation beyond lightweight blockbusters and under-financed independents.

This is a U-rated family film with more tasty stuffing in it than most of the dressed Christmas turkeys that get released at this time of year.

Plotless, fluffy, pseudo-sentimental rubbish.

What remains true now, as it was then, is the scale and scope of the thing.

The Lion In Winter is a film made stunning by the performances of Hepburn and O'Toole. They both thrive on James Goldman's tight script.

Taken as a whole, this makes a fine and entertaining six hours of viewing.

Comes as something of a disappointment, this is the first Pixar film that one suspects could have been done live-action.

A really enjoyable yarn in the Princess Bride mold, told with panache.

Multi-layered, original, funny and packed full of story and circumstance that makes you think.

Ultimately, there is no depth to the drama and precious little soul.

O'Toole is simply remarkable. He reinvents himself once again, stealing the breath away with his learned quicksilver wit and charisma.
