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, All Movie Guide

Presented with a widescreen anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital Surround Sound in English. Subtitles are available in English, French, Japanese, and Spanish. The only special features are trailers, but this is still a fairly decent release of a lavishly produced film. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
