About the Film: Besides directing the film, Laurence Olivier also plays Shakespeare’s great villainous king, who says from the get- go that he is “determined to prove a villain”—and he does it. Olivier gives the film a full big-screen, Technicolor treatment and brings in some of England’s greatest actors of the time— Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud and Claire Bloom—to pull it off.
