Watch: Becket 1964 123movies, Full Movie Online – Debauched King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) installs his longtime court facilitator Thomas Becket (Richard Burton) as the Archbishop of Canterbury, assuming that his old friend will be a compliant and loyal lackey in the King’s on-going battles with the church. But Becket unexpectedly finds his true calling on the ecclesiastical side, and aligns himself against the King’s selfish wishes, causing a rift and an eventual showdown not only between the two men, but also the institutions they represent..
Plot: King Henry II of England has trouble with the Church. When the Archbishop of Canterbury dies, he has a brilliant idea. Rather than appoint another pious cleric loyal to Rome and the Church, he will appoint his old drinking and wenching buddy, Thomas Becket, technically a deacon of the church, to the post. Unfortunately, Becket takes the job seriously and provides abler opposition to Henry.

Powerful film!
POSSIBLE SPOILERS! This is a superbly executed film! It depicts the true story of Thomas a Becket, wonderfully portrayed by Richard Burton, and his king (Henry II), wonderfully portrayed by Peter O’Toole. They are best friends, drinking and debauching together. The king has some headaches with the Church of England but then the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the church, dies. The king urges Becket to become Archbishop of Canterbury in order to have a friend in that role. Becket warns the king that if he takes the job, he will look after the church first, then the king. O’Toole prevails and Burton’s Becket becomes the Archbishop. Soon, they are at odds with each other over church business and soon become bitter enemies. Most students of history know that the king ultimately had Becket murdered. The film is historically fairly accurate and beautifully acted! This one is worth a watch!
