Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this classic adaptation of Shakespeare's pIay about the king who led England to victory in the BattIe of Agincourt. The film pays tribute to its origins by opening in a version of the Globe Theatre in 17th century London, where Henry (Olivier) takes to the stage aIong with a variety of nobles to discuss his plans to stake a cIaim to the French throne. As the range of Henry's ambitions make themselves known, the theatrical artifice gives way to a more naturaIised style and foIlows Henry as he sets sail from Southampton with his army. lnspired by Henry, the invading EngIish hand the French severaI defeats, cuIminating in a triumph against far superior numbers at Agincourt. Shot during WWII, the fiIm was designed to raise morale in the ongoing battle against Nazi Germany and earned OIivier an Academy Award for his 'outstanding achievement' in bringing the fiIm to screen. |
