About this product

Product Information

Before Kenneth Branagh, before Mel Gibson, Laurence Olivier gave the definitive portrayal of "the man who could not make up his mind." In 15th-century Denmark, young Prince Hamlet is racked by torment and indecision after seeing a vision of his deceased father. The late king's ghost informs his son Hamlet that Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, was responsible for murdering the king. When the murderer married Hamlet's mother--the king's widow--scarcely two months after his funeral, he also took the throne that was his brother's. The ghost beseeches Hamlet to avenge him--yet Hamlet procrastinates, unsure of how best to accomplish his task. In what was only his second directorial effort, Olivier uses his misty, moody set and long tracking camera shots to complement his indecisive prince tortured by the murder of his father. Olivier's version of the Shakespeare tragedy eliminates the characters of Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Fortinbras.

Olivier's Vertion of Shakespeare's Hamlet
As expected a Criterion collection DVD of a film is always a very good transfer. Having subtitles to a Shakesperian play is always a plus. As an abreviated version of Hamlet this version works. The viewer must realize that this version has Rosencrans and Guildenstern edited out of the play. It also excizes two of Hamlet's seven soliliquies, "Oh What a rougue and Peasant Slave am I" and " How all occasions do inform against me" but I have seen a lot worse edited versions of the play.

Classical Hamlet
One of the best renditions of a true classic. Sir Laurence Oliver being the great classical actor adds depth to Shakespeare's Hamlet. I collect Hamlet by different actors and find this to be my favorite. I also have Hamlet done by Mel Gibson, Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline. Still adding to my collection as there are many more great actors having tried there hand at Hamlet.
