Oliver Cromwell (Richard Harris), an Anglican Puritan, has two missions in life: to wipe out England's rampant corruption and keep the country free from the influence of Catholicism. Rising through the ranks of Parliament, the Grand Protector takes on the weak-willed King Charles I (Alec Guinness) through a series of conflicts ranging from the English persecution of Irish Catholics to the raising of monies needed to fight the advancing Scot army. Events come to a head, however, in a sweeping battle between the Grand Protector's Roundheads and the King's Cavaliers, resulting in Cromwell's being the only man in English history to ever execute a king.

“The King is not England, and England is not the King.” Fragments from the clash of parliamentarians and royalists on the home English turf (sports terminology: Roundheads against Cavaliers), during which the creators focused primarily on the heads of the warring factions. Only one will roll, and the other’s controversial ideas (the Irish campaign) and humiliating posthumous rolling will be tactfully ignored when the Stuarts opened a restaurant. In the heavyweight acting duel, I favored the one who exuded confident arrogance mixed with the certain nobility of a Jedi knight. His opponent wasn’t bad at all, but at times he overdid it with fiery speeches for the history textbooks. Either way, it was undoubtedly a diligently executed job regarding costumes and battle chaos. I don’t know about you, but in the final scene of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, I saw Daniel Day-Lewis instead of Dalton.
