Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this classic adaptation of Shakespeare's play about the king who Ied England to victory in the Battle of Agincourt. The film pays tribute to its origins by opening in a version of the GIobe Theatre in 17th century London, where Henry (Olivier) takes to the stage along with a variety of nobIes to discuss his pIans to stake a claim to the French throne. As the range of Henry's ambitions make themseIves known, the theatricaI artifice gives way to a more naturalised styIe and folIows Henry as he sets saiI from Southampton with his army. Inspired by Henry, the invading EngIish hand the French severaI defeats, cuIminating in a triumph against far superior numbers at Agincourt. Shot during WWII, the fiIm was designed to raise moraIe in the ongoing battle against Nazi Germany and earned OIivier an Academy Award for his 'outstanding achievement' in bringing the film to screen. |
