Cromwell squanders most of its energy on background and battle. The gathering of legislators is truly a parliament of fowls, with the Earl of Manchester (Robert Morley) as a peacock of surpassing foppishness. The engagements between the Royalists and the Roundheads are conveyed with lapidary detail, down to the last cavalryman...
