Henry V (1944 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henry V is a 1944 film adaptation of the William Shakespeare play Henry V; it was released in Los Angeles in 1946. The movie won Olivier an Academy Honorary Award for "his Outstanding achievement as actor, producer and director in bringing Henry V to the screen." That award should also be viewed in the broader context of his efforts to bring Shakespeare to the screen. Subsequently, part of the film was funded by the government. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Henry_V_(1946_movie)   (230 words)

BBC - Films - review - Henry V That the film should get made at all was an extraordinary achievement, but Olivier, in his directing debut, also gave us the first large-scale radical movie re-interpretation of Shakespeare long before others. 1944: one of the darkest periods in British history, when the country was close to breaking point with the continued onslaught of Second World War. Where the tide begins to turn is at the crucial Battle of Agincourt, where the superior skill of the English longbows and a better defensive position secures an important victory. www.bbc.co.uk /films/2002/02/19/henry_v_1944_review.shtml   (416 words)

Britmovie - Henry V (1989) Branagh's film replaces the patriotic zeal of Laurence Olivier's 1944 version of Henry V with a more sombre manner reflecting the brutality and futility of war, Branagh believing that Henry V was a play in need of rescue from the jingoism of its World War Two associations. The film’s ending is something of an anti-climax as Henry turns from matters of state to those of the heart, and so his long-drawn-out courtship of French Princess Katherine (Emma Thompson) ensues. Based on the classic play by William Shakespeare, this rousing and highly acclaimed adaptation from star and directorial debutee Kenneth Branagh features bloody battle scenes and powerful performances from a stellar cast of British acting. www.britmovie.co.uk /genres/drama/filmography01/028.html   (281 words)

Film editing is a textbook example of how to put a movie together. With this film, 28 year-old Kenneth Branagh put forth a strong claim as the best interpreter of the Bard of Avon currently working. www.epinions.com /mvie-review-57B7-503135A-39F9DC78-prod1   (548 words)

100 Years of Westerns Henry Ford, Anthony Mann, Henry King, The model developed by Hoppy films was similar to that of Republic’s Three Mesquiteers series, based on characters developed by novelist William Colt McDonald, who’d placed Americanized versions of Dumas’ Three Musketeers within a Western setting. Boyd, along with his horse, Topper, acted in 54 Cassidy films between 1935 and 1944; in 1946, Boyd produced the series himself, making a dozen or so more, as well as purchasing the rights to the films along with the rights to merchandise the name and image of Hopalong Cassidy. In the early 1930s, the vast popularity of Western movies began to ebb, thanks to the Great Depression and the public’s embrace of gangster films glamorizing bad guys like Al Capone. www.americancowboy.com /mj03/100years_film.mj03.shtml   (171 words)

Henry V (1989 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The visual and verbal styles of the film are much grittier than the Laurence Olivier film (see: Henry V (1944 movie)), particularly with respect to the Battle of Agincourt scenes, which are strongly reminiscent of the battle scenes in the films of Akira Kurosawa. Henry V is a 1989 film directed by Kenneth Branagh, and based upon the Shakespeare play. In contrast to the way most movies are filmed, the scenes in Henry V were filmed in the order in which they appear in the movie. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Henry_V_(1989_film)   (353 words)

Henry V (1989) The scene in question, which isn't in the film, shows Henry revealing himself to the honest (or lippy?) Williams and demanding satisfaction for the latter's supposedly insubordinate and disloyal talk. Branagh would have made more sense if he had just allowed the mounted, renzied Henry to shout himself hoarse, almost unheard over the noise of battle, while urging his men to this crazy suicide attack, and to eschew such stagey hamming as we end up seeing here (and nowhere else in the film). Henry V has been read as English triumphalism so often that this bad-war era version was probably NECESSARY in order to show folks how subtle Shakespeare can be even when he seems to be tooting a patriotic horn! us.imdb.com /Title?0097499   (1015 words)

Battle of the Bulge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A full length movie, Battle of the Bulge was made in 1965, starring Henry Fonda. The Ardennes Offensive, which was actually known to the Germans as Operation Wacht Am Rhein, was also known as Second Battle of the Ardennes and popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, started in late December 1944 and was the last major German offensive on the Western Front during World War II. Indicative of the desperate circumstances under which the battle plan was finally approved was the intentional scheduling of the offensive just as the weather produced a massive warm front with heavy fog and low-lying clouds, effectively grounding the Allied air forces in the area for the first few days of the operation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge   (6935 words)

Laurence Olivier, Richard III -- by Paul Trevor Bale Olivier's film begins with a scene from the end of Henry VI pt 3, namely the coronation of Edward IV, and with this he introduces the audience to the York family, the king and queen, and their two young sons, Clarence and Gloucester, the king's brothers, his cousin Buckingham, and his friend Hastings. Perhaps the most famous image people associate with Richard the Third is that of the Shakespeare character created by Laurence Olivier in 1944 on the stage of the Old Vic in London, and put onto film in the summer of 1954. This film Richard is one of the most famous images of the Shakespearean villain, long dark dank hair hanging to his shoulders, crooked nose and twisted body, spindly legs, one shorter than the other, and the stunted hand. www.r3.org /onstage/olivier/bale.html   (4485 words)

The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: Richard III: The Criterion Collection While Richard III did not arrive on screen until the mid-'50s, like all of Olivier's Shakespearean films, it's based on a stage production, this one mounted at the Old Vic in 1944. For all of his charisma, Richard is not Hamlet nor Lear, Othello nor Macbeth &; figures of great nobility who crumble due to the stamp of one defect in character, bringing down the lives of others, and even entire kingdoms, with their eventual ruin. Arriving in 1592/93, Richard III completed Shakespeare's Wars of the Roses tetralogy (preceded by the three Henry VI plays), and it was his first actual hit. www.dvdjournal.com /quickreviews/r/richardiii_cc.q.shtml   (713 words)

Biography for Bette Davis By 1938, Bette received a second Academy nomination for her work in Jezebel (1938) in a film opposite the, soon to be, legendary Henry Fonda. She made many successful 40's films, but each picture was weaker than the last and by the time her Warner Brothers contract had ended in 1949 the movies were disappointing, such as the unintentionally hilarious Beyond the Forest (1949). She snagged Best Actress Oscar nominations five years in a row-for Jezebel (1938, which she won), Dark Victory (1939), The Letter (1940), The Little Foxes (1941), and Now, Voyager (1942)-then earned another in 1944 for Mr. www.imdb.com /name/nm0000012/bio   (713 words)

Roger K. Furse He later rose to prominence through his long association with Sir Laurence Olivier as set designer of the latter's Shakespearean productions at the Old Vic and as art director of several of Olivier's films (HENRY V, 1944; HAMLET, 1948; RICHARD III, 1955; and THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, 1957). After working as a portrait painter and a commercial artist in Paris, New York, and Philadelphia, he began designing sets for the London theater in the early 30s.

Egan2002j.htm Actually, it is entirely possible that the Globe reconstruction surprises more visitors than it comforts, since its deliberately gaudy interior decoration is quite unlike the Tudor bareness of the Globe in Laurence Olivier's film of Henry 5 or the Rose in John Madden's film Shakespeare in Love (Olivier 1944; Madden 1998). If the Globe Centre wishes to be more than Disney it must strive--in the midst of its touristic success--to show that Shakespeare is not us, he is a strangely surviving other in a world of the same, and our fascination with him is a fascination with something that we can never fully assimilate. Rather the reconstruction project shows what the early sermonizers objected to, as when John Stockwood called the Theatre a "gorgeous playing place" and Thomas White referred to the "sumptuous theatre houses" (Stockwood 1578, J7v; White 1578, C8r). www.gabrielegan.com /publications/Egan2002j.htm   (129 words)
