	Laurence Olivier Henry V
		Because in writing Henry V Shakespeare was much hampered by the limitations of his stage, there was heavy work for the one-man Chorus, who, in persuasive and beautiful verbal movies, stirred his audience to imagine scenes and movement which the bare and static Elizabethan stage could not provide.
		Henry V is one of the great experiences in the history of motion pictures.
		Bur Henry V is a major achievement -- this perfect marriage of great dramatic poetry with the greatest contemporary medium for expressing it.

	literature : Henry V: An Introduction Through Performance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Henry is one of the larger parts in Shakespeare, and his acquisition of the French throne by "inheritance" provides the play's unifying action.
		Beyond the simple cutting of lines, Henry V's representation of history has been radically reshaped in modern performance by the enactment of narrated events onstage, the reordering of scenes, the inclusion of actresses playing the female and sometimes male parts, and the omission of entire roles and episodes.
		His Henry is simultaneously Christian warrior and cautious politician; his countrymen are a "band of brothers" who nevertheless quarrel about honor, responsibility, and nationhood, and who recognize the shakiness of the ground upon and for which they fight.

	Henry V
		Olivier's Henry V, which was shot in color in 1946, is a jingoistic film, bearing the imprint of the public mood in England during World War II.
		Olivier's Henry is a king's king -- he tosses his crown onto a post on the throne, and swaggers off the stage after he dismisses the mincing ambassador.
		Branagh's Henry V is a different kind of warrior.

		Though they are badly outnumbered, Henry leads his troops with courage and fortitude into the final, decisive battle against his enemies.
		The surreal and fairy-tale-like world of Henry's 15th century is depicted as segments of medieval manuscript illustrations.
		In keeping with the spirit of the play, the wartime propaganda of "Englishmen as underdogs," and indeed history itself, the French army is depicted as extremely well armed and encased in heavy, cumbersome armor--restricting their movement.

	2 Movie Versions of Henry V (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		One could see the transfer of setting from the stage to the actual history as a bit of a cop-out, but rather it should be seen as a unique storytelling device to transport the viewer to the world of Shakespeare and into the minds of those watching the play.
		In contrast, there is a darkness and yet a sensitivity in Branagh's Henry that even exceed what one might think of as a straight performance of the text, whatever that may be.
		Olivier did a much better job in slightly modernizing bits of the text and presenting the soliloquies in interesting ways, e.g., the King's meditation on "ceremony," which is played naturally as his own thoughts, something which can never be done in a live theater.

	Henry V (Movie - 1946) \| Video Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Mark Harris is a writer and former executive editor of EW HENRY V Laurence Olivier, Robert Newton (1944, Voyager, unrated, $69.95) With Hollywood about to enter another Shakespeare boom, it's worth revisiting the first movie that ever did the Bard justice -- a rousing, sunny, grandly staged adaptation by first-time director Olivier.
		Don't expect the war-is-hell grit or emotionalism of Kenneth Branagh's 1989 version, or a purist-pleasing act of fidelity; Olivier dispensed with the play's darker implications (and much of its original text) to create a Henry V that would stoke the fires of World War II-era British patriotism.

		Sure, it’s an unrelieved woman’s movie, a weeper, a sentimental three-hankie film, but there’s no arguing that the storyline of Dark Victory, which initially made it to the movie screen in 1939, starring Warner Bros.’ queen Bette Davis, is riveting.
		When Henry VIII shed his mistress Mary Boleyn (and his first wife - Queen Catherine) for her younger more comely sister Anne, he probably set the precedent, and the countless films are just examples of art imitating life.
		H.G. Wells was born in 1866, and so a man with distinct ties to both the 19th and 20th centuries, although perhaps the image we have of him as a man is more 19th century, thanks especially to the popularity of a couple of Wells titles.

		Other works of exceptional quality were Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die; Laurence Olivier's Henry V, an astonishing directorial debut by the great Shakespearean actor; Roberto Rossellini's Paísa; Marcel Carné's Les Enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise); and Julien Duvivier's atmospheric Panic, all of which made the Mostra a festival of welcome homecomings and rediscoveries.
		The movie avoids some of the more colorful aspects of Jolson's life, including his messy 1940 divorce from Ruby Keeler, but Parks makes a game stab at conveying Al's foghorning style, a one-man showbiz Blitzkrieg.
		The major movie theme of the year has been postwar readjustment, as millions of returning servicemen learn how to deal with the stresses and strains of a civilian world that has moved on since they went away to war.

	The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France (1944) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In the early scenes, the movie combines the play itself with a very detailed look at how the play would have been staged in Shakespeare's own day.
		It takes advantage of the slower parts in the early scenes to draw attention to the stage, the players, and the crowd, giving you a very good feel for what the theater was like then.
		It is noticeable, though, that Olivier chose to omit several scenes or portions of scenes that have some of the commands showing Henry's harsher characteristics, so that the movie concentrates much more on the king's heroic side.
