Directed by: Anthony Harvey
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle
Revealing mistake: When Eleanor comes across the Thames there is no other boat around, however, in a shot from the side you see the bow wave of the boat with the camera crew. (00:17:15)
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie Geoffrey organises an ambush on a group of infantrymen marching on a pristine beach. When the second group of horsemen attacks there are already tracks in the sand, obviously from previous takes. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: In the last scene of the movie Eleanor leaves by boat to go back to her castle prison. When we see Henry waving good-bye he is standing right next to a post when we see him from the back, but this post is nowhere when he is shown from the water. (02:08:10)
Prince Geoffrey: I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.
Trivia: Katharine Hepburn, who played Queen Eleanor, actually is descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine along numerous lines, from both Eleanor's marriage to Louis VII of France, and her marriage to Henry II, of England.
