This biography of Oliver Cromwell recalls the political and religious struggles of 17th century England. Cromwell (Richard Harris) is the Anglican religious fanatic who fights corruption and Catholicism with equal zeal, while King Charles (Alec Guinness) is the vacillating monarch who believes his crown gives him a direct pipeline to the wisdom of God. Also starring Robert Morley and Timothy Dalton, Cromwell won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design and was nominated for Best Original Score. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Coincidentally, we watched Cromwell just before Easter. Being served two hours' worth of overcooked ham sated our appetite to the point of reconsidering what to eat on Easter Day. Richard Harris' range went from bellowing to whispering (with a few croaks in between); not all of it matching the meaning of the dialogue. At any point in the movie, I wasn't sure whether to gird myself for a convulsion of rage or lean forward to hear his soul mumble. His reaction shots consisted of staring dully forward with an extremely irritating method-acting pout. He did manage to leave a few bits of unchewed scenery on the floor, however. But the direction was awful, especially the battle scenes that had all the intensity and authenticity of a home movie.

After having recently watched "The Young Victory" through Block Buster, I became interested in England's history. I found "Cromwell" very interesting and the acting was excellent.

good movie but shows it age in its photography and acting. If you are hard of hearing like myself this is a tedious movie to endure. a lot of loud shouting followed by whispers and mumbles. It is hard to enjoy a flick when you are adjusting the sound levels.
