	1948 Oscar Winners
		Indeed, in filming the climactic scene in which Hamlet kills Claudius (Basil Sydney), Olivier leapt from a raised platform onto a professional strong man doubling for Sydney.
		The actress was suffering from a cold when she filmed that scene and director John Huston instructed her to sing off-key; her resulting sad, scratchy rendition of "Moanin' Low" proved incredibly effective.
		The movie was based on a successful play in which Horace McNally starred as the nice young doctor; renamed Stephen McNally, he played the drunken rapist in the film.

		Discussion of the 1948, 1990, and 1996 Hamlets is summarized from Sheena Gillespie, Terezinba Fonseca, and Carol A.
		The Readiness Is All: Presenting Hamlet as a young student, this film analyzes the psychological progression required to educate Hamlet to the ways of the world, thereby presenting themes about the nature of reality, evil, dissembling people, corruption of good intentions, death, and regalness.
		One blessing is that Hamlet, sitting in the box of the father confessor overhearing part of Claudius's "confession" makes clearer his desire for public knowledge of Claudius's assassination; another is that Branagh and Nicholas Farrell make clear that "the readiness is all" concerns Hamlet's readiness to die, if need be, for his mission.

	Peter Cushing
		His first major film part was as Osric in ''Hamlet (1948 movie)Hamlet'' (1948) with Laurence Olivier/.
		Cushing drew much praise for his performance in this production, although he always felt that his performance in the existing version of the play – it was performed twice in one week and only the second version survives in the archives – was inferior to the first.
		He was one of many stars to guest on ''Morecambe and WiseThe Morecambe and Wise Show/'' – the standing joke in his case being the idea that he was never paid for his appearance.

	Hamlet1948
		When the late king’s ghost visits Hamlet and informs him that he was murdered by now-crowned King, our hero takes it upon himself to exact an elaborate revenge that ends up getting everyone involved in seriously mortal trouble.
		The film starts off a bit creaky, but once it gets going with its gothic-looking sets and energetic camera movements there’s no stopping it until the end.
		Olivier also plays the title role, the very confused Prince of Denmark who is thrust into emotional turmoil when his father’s sudden death is immediately followed by his mother’s marriage to his father’s brother.

	Shakespeare on Film & Video: Books in the UC Berkeley Library
		Laurence Olivier's 1948 film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' was the first to be influenced by Sigmund Freud's concept of the Oedipus complex, as interpreted by Ernest Jones' 1910 article 'Hamlet and Oedipus.' Since Olivier's version, the Oedipal interpretation of Hamlet has become standard on film and in performance.
		Family romance is at core of Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of 'Hamlet.' This is evident in his casting of actors Mel Gibson and Glenn Close in the principal roles, his manipulation of space and landscape, his alteration of the text and his approach to editing.
		He was interviewed on Oct 30, 1995, just before he beganproduction of the film version of 'Hamlet.' He explained that he tries toachieve a balance between imaginative interpretation and faithfulness tothe text.

		Hamlet [1948] starring: Laurence Olivier, Eileen Herlie, Jean Simmons
		Nothing proves this better than Sir Laurence Olivier's 1948 movie, which won him Best Director and Best Actor Academy Awards, in addition to the film's Best Costume Design and Best Set Decoration honors.
		Without question, in his day Olivier was considered the quintessential Hamlet; the actor who owned the role like none before and few, if any, afterwards; not least because of this movie and his participation in the 1937 Helsingor (= Elsinore) staging.

	The Complete and Utter Fantabuloso Kenneth Williams Website
		Peter enjoyed a very profitable and long running association with the late film director Gerald Thomas, who began his career as an editor at Denham Film Studios in 1946, notably cutting Laurence Olivier's classic 1948 production of Hamlet.
		He was my wife's editor and when my wife was on location with his brother Ralph Thomas (Producer/Director team of the Doctor films), and they were away for six to eight weeks or so, we used to go out together.
		Peter has no further ambitions in filmmaking, commenting "I'd make a film tomorrow if I could get a film set up, but I don't feel like going into the market at the moment because it's a different market altogether nowadays, and the people in it.

		Maggie Smith (Desdemona), Derek Jacobi (who was introduced into acting by Sir Laurence Olivier himself and played the villainous Claudius in Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet" and the Chorus in Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V"; he plays Cassio in this one) and Joyce Redman (Emilia) share the screen with one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time.
		The make-up on him made him believable as the noble Moor, considering that he was 56 years old at the time the film was made; as in his 1948 version of "Hamlet", it hid his age.
		Claudius's speech begins the film after shots of the ocean (quoting form Olivier's film of Hamlet) Hamlet racing back for the funeral, and a soldier reads the speech as a proclamation to the crowd outside.

		Seven years after their directorial debuts, both Branagh and Welles released two films in one year, one of which was a Shakespeare adaptation (Welles: Macbeth and The Lady from Shanghai in 1948; Branagh: A Midwinter's Tale and Hamlet in 1996).
		Branagh's third Shakespeare film, Hamlet, was an ambitious tour de force based on the entire text of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
		Branagh, an Irishman, adopted an English accent which facilitated his career in the British theatre.
