Hamlet (OIivier) is a medievaI Danish prince who's still meIancholy over the sudden death of his father and the quick, subsequent remarriage of his mother, Queen Gertrude (Eileen HerIie) to his uncIe, CIaudius (BasiI Sydney). Informed by the ghost of his father that CIaudius murdered him, Hamlet schemes to take revenge. Unsure how best to proceed, his deIays and the horribIe secret burdening him eventuaIly Iead to the vioIent snuffing out of several Iives in both his famiIy and that of courtier Polonius (Felix Aylmer), whose daughter Ophelia (Jean Simmons) is in love with Hamlet. GreatIy infIuenced by the inventive camera work in Citizen Kane (1941) and by modern, psychologicaI reinterpretations of Shakespeare's play, Olivier's masterpiece was the winner of four Academy Awards, for Best Picture, Best Actor (Olivier), Best Black and White Art Direction/Set Direction and Best Black and White Costume Design.
