The Lion in Winter absolutely. I saw that film in NYC when it was first released and I thought it was the best film I’d ever seen. He was brilliant but slightly upstaged by Katherine Hepburn. Wonderful performance as Henry II. I saw it again a few weeks later.
Then I bought it on VHS so I could watch it again.
Then I bought it on DVD :)
Now I own it on Blu-ray I believe. It’s a film I never tire of. Brilliant cast.
I had seen him play Henry II before in Becket and liked it – but this is an amazing film.
I saw Lawrence of Arabia in Radio City Music Hall but it never grabbed me as much as The Lion in Winter did and still does.
He had great character – he was always just a tad off-beat. It was delightful.
He was a Genius.
