Disgusted with the policies of King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell plans to take his family to the New World, but on the eve of their departure, Cromwell is drawn into the tangled web of religion and politics that will result in the English Civil War.
Well-produced history lesson that doesn't manage to make any more exciting than at school either.
Halliwell*: "Disappointingly dull schoolbook history, with good production values but glum handling."
Maltin**: "Turgid historical epic has everything money can buy, but no human feeling underneath...Great battle scenes, great cinematography and Oscar-winning costume design, hampered by Harris and amateurish music score."
