    Experience two of the greatest actors of our time in one of the most honored motion pictures in history. Peter O'Toole delivers an electrifying performance as the mischievous Henry II, who surprises England by naming his fellow rogue and trusted confidant, Thomas Becket (Burton), as Chancellor. But when Henry next appoints him Archibishop Of Canterbury, Becket shocks the world by openly defying the King with his newfound faith and compassion. Will a desperate ruler now destroy a beloved friend to save his splintering kingdom? Based upon the play "Becket" by Jean Anouilh.

    Special features include commentary with Peter O'Toole, an interview with Epic Editor Anne Coates (SD 07:13), an interview with Composer Laurence Rosenthal (SD 12:23), the trailer, a TV spot, and a still gallery.

    Reason #97 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    My favorites are the articles that discuss cutting edge technologies. It keeps me up to date. I also find some of the product and DVD reviews helpful. I'm glad there are others that passionately care about delivering a theatrical experience in the home.
