Cromwell.jpgCromwell (1970): Richard Harris and Alec Guinness carry a very favorable biopic of the first Lord Protectorate of England, Oliver Cromwell (Harris), who personifies Parliament's power struggle with the presiding royalty—in this case, King Charles I (Guinness). Guinness is particularly good at displaying the complex character of a, by nature, very diffident and insecure king. To wit (and Derek Jacobi should have taken note): Guinness ever so subtly and effectively depicts Charles's supposed stutter.
