Hamlet (1948) Imprint Collection #414

Murder most foul.

The Academy Award winner of Best Picture, Actor, Art Direction and Costume Design,Hamletis regarded as one of the greatest Shakespearean film adaptations of all time.

Staged amid the grandeur of the Royal Court of Denmark,Hamletis a tale of murder and intrigue, of revenge and treachery, of love and suicide, of madness and despair, of fatal delay and even more fatal action.

Filmed in chilling black and white,Hamletis arguably both Shakespeare and Oliviers magnum opus; a twisted display of diseased power and obsession with death, formingan uncommonly galvanic film(New York Times).
