Laurence Olivier’sHenry V (1944), Hamlet (1948), and Richard III (1955) stand as examples of quality British cinema and are generally considered the first remarkable achievement in sound era Shakespearean adaptations. After several Hollywood attempts to adapt Shakespeare, Olivier created inventive and imaginative Shakespeare films that were popular with audiences and critics.1 Olivier brought to these productions both his experience at the Old Vic where had he developed these roles and established himself as the preeminent Shakespearean actor of his generation2 and his experience working in Hollywood with directors like William Wyler and Alfred Hitchcock.
