Henry V 1989 by Kenneth Branagh, Clip 'O Kate, we are the makers of manners...'

The Image: That huge chamber; the crowns; the regalia; the new woven flag representing the dual monarchy of England and France - the notion of Great Kings being the 'makers of manners'. It's all here...
I love this clip. (Though obviously very politically incorrect - having a beautiful young princess being delivered as part of the spoils of war!)
When Branagh smilingly advises Kate: 'Take me/Take a soldier/Take a soldier - Take a King' - that is one of my favourite quotes from Shakespeare - the repetition of 'take' and its steady build up to 'Take a king' (it's called anaphora as you may know...)
