Overview
A short historical documentary by Roger Leenhardt and Jean Pierre Vivet that chronicles the eleventh-century invasion of England by William the Conqueror, using images of the Bayeux Tapestry to illustrate the story. As described by Erik Barnouw ("Documentary: A History of the Non-Fiction Film"), the film creatively animates the embroidered scenes to bring the Norman Conquest to life.
