Yes, this picture is flawed, but it is still an effective modification. I have a notion which states that Olivier has a done a decent job. The job done by Basil Sydney as King Claudius, Norman Wooland as Horatio, Felix Aylmer as Polonius, Terence Morgan as Laertes and Jean Simmons as Ophelia are all positive. Eileen Herlie as the Queen is vibrant and believable. Olivier is well supported by talented supporting players. Olivier's performance is great but he hits and misses slightly. Despite that, Olivier is somewhat ineffective at times. Needless to say, his charisma is huge and the physique of Olivier has the 'smell' of an actor who is only suited for a leading role. Olivier as Hamlet is wonderful, and his delivery of Shakespearean lines is utterly fantastic - significant clarity in his delivery is very much in evident, and to my belief, that ability makes him a superb actor. Further, under his direction, Olivier too has managed to beautifully capture gorgeous looking shots for some of the scenes. Probably, that form of direction was indirectly referring to Prince Hamlet himself as at times, Hamlet could be 'mad' or violent, and too, he is dark and has a troubled working mind. I am in love with Olivier's method of interpreting this work by setting a gloomy, eerie and isolated atmosphere in the movie. Olivier's version of Hamlet for the screen could be one of the finest versions of that form, or maybe the best. Hamlet is perhaps one the most popular and influential Shakespeare's work. In fact, primarily, the story Hamlet focuses on the character Hamlet and has an unmatched character development of him in the story. The story surrounded the kingdom of Denmark and it dramatizes revenge. Hamlet or, The Tragedy of Hamlet, is a story by William Shakespeare. His contribution for acting, as well as influence on acting for both on stage and screen, has defined him as one of the greatest actors of all time. Olivier is easily a classical actor - he played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen and most of them are some major Shakespearean characters, like Hamlet. Well, if you are aware, Olivier is a British actor, director and producer and to have a taste of this gentleman's greatness, he is one of the famous actors of the 20th century. This fine 1948 British's Hamlet is directed by and starred our beloved Sir Laurence Olivier. Hamlet is a 1948 British picture and it is one of many film adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays.
