Have you seen The Lion in Winter? What did you think of O'Toole and Hepburn's performances?

[@julietantonio1049]

Easily one of his best, I watch it every Christmas

[@henrimatisse7481]

I think about that film as I lay awake at inappropriate hours. Probably the best film ever showing the brilliance of both actors. Every scene is fresh although steeped in history, and mud really.

[@JonathanRothman-dr3li]

Every scene in LIW was a master class in acting. Need to look up who wrote that script. Just brilliant dialogue.

[@donjones4719]

Powerful is too weak a word.

[@donjones4719]

For Peter O'Toole's performance: I just watched some clips of The Lion In Winter. It struck me that you could play that and Lawrence of Arabia on screens side by side and I still wouldn't recognize that the same actor was playing the lead in both.

[@toecutterjones]

You can really feel the love between them during their scenes in Lion in Winter.

[@jezebeljones659]

You can really feel that she's going to clock him one across the jaw if he annoys her.

[@somethingyousaid5059]

The Lion In Winter was shown on TCM just last night. I almost missed it. Unthinkable!

[@TheDickCavettShow]

Lucky timing! 💙

Wowowawowowawowa! I think she's flooded!

“I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn... but the troops were dazzled.” The best line ever delivered on film and we have O’Toole to thank for casting the great Kate.

[@rubytuesdayphoenix]

That has to be one of the most quotable movies ever. "I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!"

[@henrimatisse7481]

a good line but delivered by her was pure genius

[@Luzanne.]

No doubt about it!

[@JonathanRothman-dr3li]

Before watching this clip, I’d say I couldn’t love Kate more. I was wrong.

[@flowermad6640]

Lawrence of Arabia is Amazing!

[@CyberspacedLoner]

Did Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn star together in other movies than The Lion in Winter from 1968 ?!

[@abbymedina7310]

No

[@Losrandir]

That one made it so perfect that it didn't even have to be repeated, even it it could

[@christophermorgan3261]

She was a great actress but it's that New England boarding school attitude of superiority that irritates. Bette Davis had some of that too. Neither actress could do vulnerability very well.

[@henrimatisse7481]

total BS. Have you seen Now Voyager 1942? And The Philadelphia Story?

[@grai]

Oh god he's so affected I bet when he was older he'd see footage like this and cringe at how pretentious he was

[@BlookbugIV]

He had a northern English accent in early 60s interviews. Don’t they say that some got into acting because they don’t know who they are?

[@BullyBoxer]

Boring
