The primary difference between the play Becket and the film version is that in the play, the central conflict between Becket and King Henry II was the Constitution of Clarendon, whereas in the film, it was the assassination of a priest by Lord Gilbert, who was subsequently excommunicated by Becket.

A side note is that Anouilh wrote the play proclaiming that Becket was Saxon; in reality, he was Norman.
