It's a very good play by Robert Bolt and an excellent movie. It plays fast and loose with some historical facts, but history doesn't always make a good two-hour movie.

Orson Welles was over the top, but what else is new? < g >

Oh, fantastic you have seen it. (I have read the play also.) Years ago, I went to a small theater in Daytona Beach to see the play. I wasn't expecting much, but they did such an excellent job with production that I couldn't wait for the movie. Have you seen Anne of a Thousand Days? It starred Richard Burton and Genevieve Bujold (my spelling is probably atrocious). Quite a few historically based movies came out at that time. I have all of them on DVD and never tire of seeing them. :O)
