Hamlet

Name: Hamlet
Director: Bill Colleran
Released: 1964-09-23T00:00:00+00:00
Rating: 6.9

1964 · TMDB 6.9

A stage production of Hamlet filmed at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York. It was deliberately staged in the style of a "dress rehearsal", but performed in front of a live audience.

Why it matters

Kozintsev's black-and-white Hamlet turns Elsinore into a cold, windswept fortress, with Innokenti Smoktunovsky's prince a figure of nervy intelligence rather than romantic melancholy.
