(Anthony Harvey, UK 1968, 135 min., 35mm)

In her third of four Oscar®-winning performances, Katharine Hepburn is Eleanor of Aquitaine, summoned from exile at Christmastime by her estranged husband King Henry II of England (Peter O’Toole, in an older version of the role he played in Becket). The purpose of this reunion is to decide which of their three sons (played by Anthony Hopkins, Timothy Dalton, and Nigel Terry) will inherit the throne. A newly preserved print from the Academy Film Archive will be screened.
