Customer Reviews

One for Lawrence Olivier fans.
This is Olivier's first film performance and if you are not used to the absolute precision that was demanded from players and production in this era (1936) you will probably find some of the acting a little stilted. Shakespeare, even bad Shakespeare, is always good drama - why? Because it is the dialogue that matters. What we see and read into Shakespeare depends more upon our own natures than it does upon its presentation. Shakespeare is meant to be read and read again until, like Holy writ, it is embedded into our hearts. Add it to your collection.
