Olivier's Shakespeare series.
Laurence Olivier got out of the navy to film this adaptation of Shakespeare's great history play Henry V, and Britons, embroiled in World War II, took courage from the tale of a king who surmounts overwhelming odds and emerges victorious. Olivier's sumptuous Technicolor rendering features a thrilling re-creation of the battle of Agincourt and Sir Laurence in his prime as director and actor.
Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
