FLASH ALERT "HAMLET" WITH OLIVIER MONDAY 1:15 P.M. EASTERN TCM

[ Edited ]

1:15 p.m. Eastern--  "Hamlet"  Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Eileen Herlie, Felix Aylmer, Stanley Holloway, Peter Cushing

 

 

Wish I'd noticed this sooner!   Olivier's definitive portrait of the wavering Prince;  he directed as well.  Jean Simmons as Ophelia and Eileen Herlie as Gertrude fit their roles well, and the supporting cast is filled with British stalwarts.  Well worth recording.

Olivier, an actor in his own category of excellence, thank you for the heads up!

 I set the timer for Henry V and Hamlet. Didn't want to miss them.

Oh, good that you got in on "Henry V" as well, @drizzellla -- that's considered one of the best film adaptations of Shakespeare ever.  What a great double feature those two films are together.

 

I recorded "Hamlet" to savor when I'm in the mood for medieval castles and angst!
