Film Description

With a magnificent performance from Leonard Rossiter as King John and superb supporting roles by John Thaw and Claire Bloom, this production illuminates the themes of legitimacy and loyalty that run through one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays, in which the reign of England's King John is threatened by Philip of France.
