Behind the great stone walls of an English castle, the world\'s most powerful empire is in crisis. Three sons struggle to win their father\'s favor - as well as his crown. King Henry II (Peter O\'Toole) and his queen, Eleanor (Hepburn), engage in a battle of royal wits that pits elder son Richard (Anthony Hopkins) against his brothers, while the cunning King Philip of France (Timothy Dalton) takes advantage of the internal fracturing in his bid to destroy their kingdom.Katherine Hepburn is on Oscar-winning form and sparring verbally with Oscar-nominated Peter O\'Toole in this adaptation of James Goldman\'s play.John Barry\'s beautiful, melancholic score also won an Oscar.In \'Eleanor\'s Arrival\' the chorus is used to sing Latin text with the orchestra - a very beautiful track and quite different from the rest of the score. Here there are some thematic oboe and trumpet solos and a wonderful interplay between female and male chorus.
