Lentorama 2014: We're Ready for Your Closeup, Your Holiness
Day 39: Becket
Not sure how I didn't think to include this earlier. It's the story of Thomas Becket and the English King Henry II, and how their relationship and differing responsibilities eventually led to Henry ordering the killing of Becket (with some question as to whether it was intentional or not).
With names like Burton, O'Toole and Gielgud in attendance, it's Italian actor Paolo Stoppa who plays Pope Alexander III. The only other films he's been in that I'm familiar with are spaghetti Westerns, which is an interesting juxtaposition.
