Invoking the Boogieman, the Holy Moley or whatever you want to call it. Peter OToole and Richard Burton, what a combo.
Spoiler; the King wins. He declares "It's great to be King" but in a different movie.
He loses his best friend when his loyal hounds cut Beckett down in the cathedral but he gets lashed publicly in atonement - doesn't bring his friend back and he is miserable under the responsibility of being king.
The crashing dramatic musical chords coming out of nowhere are hilarious
I had forgotten the extra drama older movies provided with their music. Thanks for reminding me.
