    Synopsis:
    Laurence Olivier delivers one of his greatest Shakespearean performances as Hamlet. Seldom has the tragic story of the Danish prince tortured by his duty to his murdered father and by the guilt he feels at the prospect of revenge, been so brilliantly portrayed.

    It is the tragedy of a man who thinks but fails to act. For as long as Shakespeare is performed, this film will stand as a definitive production.
