  I really, really tried to watch this movie but I never understood it. I thought all of the stars in it were wonderful, but I just never could quite get the plot. I will admit I had to miss the first five minutes of the movie, but I never dreamed that would cause me to lose myself in the entire show. I hope to see this version again. As with all movies that I have witnessed in my life so far, I prefer the original to the remakes!

  when i first watched this beautiful movie i had the same feeling as if watching "wizard of oz" as a small child. this is pure movie magic from the acting right down to the splendid oil painting like color. olivier is peerless in skillfully driving the production with bringing all of shakespeare's obsessively clever wordplay into being. of note is richardson actually completely stealing a scenw late in the film with some of most clever stage business involing food and utensils that you will ever witness...highly recommended....as good a teleplay as can be imagined
