King Henry II of England has trouble with the Church. When the Archbishop of Canterbury dies, he has a brilliant idea. Rather than appoint another pious cleric loyal to Rome and the Church, he will appoint his old drinking and wenching buddy, Thomas Becket, technically a deacon of the church, to the post. Unfortunately, Becket takes the job seriously and provides abler opposition to Henry. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2003.

A strange mix of over-the-top melodrama and campy silliness, it's surprising to me that this movie has been received so well and taken so seriously. There isn't much to think about: the themes of the changing relationship between church and state, racial / national tensions, friendship vs 'duty', etc, are all very superficially treated and not at all serious. It's a sort of fun movie to laugh at, but drags on much too long to have much merit even as that. No memorable scenes to speak ofl

Here's my royal foot on your royal buttocks!

King Henry II of England has grown tired of the interference of the Church. When the Archbishop of Canterbury dies, he senses an opportunity to gain the upper hand. Much to the church, and Thomas Becket's surprise, he appoints his great friend Thomas More
