Lavish and thoughtful biopic that charts the rise of Oliver Cromwell from passionate, Puritan patriot to lonely dictator via the battlegrounds of the Civil War and a collision with Charles I over the thorny issue of rights: human vs divine. Memorable lead performances, handsome set pieces, Oscar-winning costumes and a stellar cast including Robert Morley, Frank Finlay and Patrick Magee help enliven the sparring ideology
Cromwell is a Film programme that first aired in 1970 and has been classified a U certificate.
