Regarding that shot of Geoffrey, that shot along with others in the movie made me wonder if the Monty Python film Holy Grail, was stealing from this one a bit? Was it meant to be an homage? It just felt really visually familiar to me because of the Holy Grail. Anyways, as for the film, it was wonderful. I absolutely loved the scenes between Peter O'Toole and the young French King. Also, given the time this came out, it deals with homosexuality quite a bit, and it had to of been really taboo back then.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but this may be the first time I have ever seen a Katherine Hepburn film. She was absolutely amazing! Wonderful!!
