Olivier was criticized for cutting the play by almost half, but this is the best of the filmed versions. Although he was a little too old, he played the part well. 12 years 9 months ago

Absolutely spectacular. The choreography for the sword fight was incredibly intense- even more so if you consider the era in which this was made.

Now I'm off to see Burton's version. 10 years 2 months ago
