Product description

Richard Harris and Sir Alec Guinness star in this sweeping, handsomely-mounted epic drama recounting the battle which raged between the monarchy and a commoner over the very soul of Great Britain. In17th-century England, ambitious country gentleman Oliver Cromwell (Harris) dared to challenge the political oppression and corruption which besieged his nation. Watching his power being usurped by a commoner, King Charles I (Two-time Oscar(r)-winner Guinness, 1957 Best Actor, The Bridge on the River Kwai; 1980 Honorary Award) springs to challenge his adversary. One man will become absolute ruler; the other will be executed. Rousing battle sequences, excellent lead and supporting performances fromRobert Morley, Dorothy Tutin and Timothy Dalton, Academy(r) Award-winning costume design and spectacular photography by renowned cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth (Cabaret, Tess), make CROMWELL an outstanding historical drama in the tradition of Braveheart.

CROMWELL from COLUMBIA TRISTAR
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2018
Verified Purchase
This review is for the SONY PICTURES/COLUMBIA TRISTAR DVD. An excellent transfer of the Panavision shot film (bars top and bottom), good sound, with good optional English subtitles. The British seem pretty good at making big budget, but serious historical epics ("Becket"/"A Man for all Seasons"/ "Anne of 1000 Days"/Lion in Winter" to name a few). This is, in my opinion, one of the best. This is down to two superb performences. Richard Harris (an actor I have never really taken to) gives a really powerful, believable showing as Cromwell. Some of his speeches are so powerful his voice is genuinely hoarse, and are delivered from the heart. Much more subtle, but none the less impressive, is Alec Guiness as King Charles, all pomp, stammering, and uncertainty/certainty. The support cast is an A-Z of great British character actors - too many to name, but especial mention to Nigel Stock, Patrick Wymark, Robert Morley and Charles Gray. Half way through we get the classic battle scenes, all noise and confusion as I am sure they were. Very good second unit direction. Yes, it is dialogue led, but such good dialogue. Not a film for everybody, but if you like the 2 actors and serious historical dramas do give this a go.

Mooncarrot the Hare
A film the Lord Protector would have approved of.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2021
Verified Purchase
This is an entertaining film. It's pleasant to watch for many reasons. There are the fine actors and, being made a quite astonishing fifty years ago, it is free of the gross.

It is perhaps one of the last of a long line of films of the historical sort, or a sort of historiography, produced in the previous ten to fifteen years. Being of its time it is stirringly patriotic stuff. It depends what is your taste in history. If it were made today it would probably include a damning reference to the Commonwealth government's capture of Jamaica and the beginnings of slavery there, as well as conversations between Charles and his wife while in bed having 'good sex'. Let's hope it won't be.

A film called Cromwell wouldn't do if he were not made the centre of every episode, even ones where he wasn't, especially before the Civil War began. This dramatic licence turn's Cromwell into the sort of figure that the Parliamentarian-supporting newspaper and pamphleteering propaganda made him out to be at the time. At its worst, this over-dramatization makes a travesty of history and turns into a caricature Cromwell's own character. Of the latter, how Richard Harris depicts him is reasonably accurate enough in so far as it goes, but a lot else that can be established about Cromwell is omitted.

The scriptwriters have taken a certain line that reflects the concerns of the present day in their time. Of course, it's their film, they can do what they like with it. However, to make Cromwell out to be a champion of democracy is to over-egg the pudding rather too much. And that's a charitable assessment of both him and them. To have Cromwell lecture Charles about democratic monarchy is both absurd in the context of the 17th century and a clumsy way of illustrating to modern audiences the effect that the ripples of change started by the Puritan revolution subsequently had. Even so, given the complexities, the scriptwriters can be given some praise for their achievement. It would be unfair to criticise them excessively.

At the end of the film, what the narrator says about what England became under Cromwell's Protectorate is, again, what he and his associates would have wanted it to be, had they been successful. A chastening illustration of the sad reality is described in the recent book, Providence Lost by Paul Lay. Another recent book that re-examines the evidence about Cromwell himself, and which is a useful corrective to be read alongside watching this film, is The making of Oliver Cromwell, by Ronald Hutton.

One other thing that must be said about this DVD itself is the imperfections in the copy I received. Flaws in its manufacture meant that the whole of the Battle of Naseby was skipped, and further corruption of the software resulted in only parts of the scenes at Carisbrooke and Cromwell's confrontation with the Levellers being available. Caveat emptor.

It's History Jim, but not as we know it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this 'Cromwell' dvd, the 1998 Columbia Tristar version. I had vague memories from the past, the 70s when I had first seen it. I echo another review. Good as a novel but not history. Cromwell was not one of the five MPs Charles sought to arrest. Cromwell was late to Edgehill and took a limited role as a captain of horse. . Essex had died by the time of Naseby.
However it is a film from 1970, before the renewed research into the civil war which took place in the 80s and 90s. If you view it has such then enjoy the performances. And then read up about the real events both political and military.

Worth a look if only for the actors.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2019
Verified Purchase
Somehow I don't remember this movie from 1970. It didn't rank anywhere near 'Lawrence of Arabia ' or Ryan's Daughter' in popularity so its probably worth a look if only for the actors. Richard Harris and Alec Guinness are excellent and Robert Morley and Timothy Dalton also get a look in.
Yes, the print quality is only so so and the costumes have a sanitised drama soc look about them. Cromwell's campaign in Ireland is ignored and Richard Harris gives a somewhat over earnest performance as the Norfolk farmer himself. One to watch with a few beers and a nostalgic view of some great British/Irish actors now sadly passed.

Cromwell - A Great Film with Great Stars, Even at 51 Years Old
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2021
Verified Purchase
They don't make films like this anymore! No computer imagery, special effects or gimmicks. Just a sparkling cast of star names from the past who were part of a great production that brought to life the struggle between the English Crown and the English Parliament. I have had the DVD for years, but I was helping with home schooling during lockdown, & my granddaughter in Y8 was doing the English Civil War in History - the reasons, the build-up, & the outcome. I thought that she might learn a bit more by watching this film, so had the DVD sent to her. She (& her sister in Y7, so whom will be doing the subject next year), thought that it was great!
