Brilliant performances by some of the greatest actors to appear on the big screen. O’Toole, Hepburn, and Hopkins put on a clinic. Breakneck, rapid fire delivery of a masterful screenplay. Gorgeous locations, beautiful costumes and scenery. What more can I say? This movie has it all and is a must see for anyone who considers themselves a movie person in the slightest.

like some of katherine’s other exploits ( e.g. ‘bringing up baby’ ) the pacing and dialogue felt like too-much crammed into too-little— is this is a ‘theatre’ thing? lost track of who was betraying whom and who was on top about 2/3ds of the way through …. acting was jim-dandy though.
