Great moment in motion picture history.

  1. I loved the chanting; so I'm guessing the title of the movie is Becket? What year is it from?

  2. Here's a fuller version which includes Becket's Bishopric speach before the excommunication.

  4. Hisbridetobe-yes, 'Becket' is the title of the movie. I think it was made in 1964.

    Loved Richard Burton in the title role! That voice, and those blazing eyes! He was perfect in it!
