Further, under his direction, Olivier too has managed to beautifully capture gorgeous looking shots for some of the scenes. Probably, that form of direction was indirectly referring to Prince Hamlet himself as at times, Hamlet could be 'mad' or violent, and too, he is dark and has a troubled working mind. I am in love with Olivier's method of interpreting this work by setting a gloomy, eerie and isolated atmosphere in the movie. Olivier's version of Hamlet for the screen could be one of the finest versions of that form, or maybe the best. Hamlet is perhaps one the most popular and influential Shakespeare's work. In fact, primarily, the story Hamlet focuses on the character Hamlet and has an unmatched character development of him in the story. The story surrounded the kingdom of Denmark and it dramatizes revenge. Hamlet or, The Tragedy of Hamlet, is a story by William Shakespeare. His contribution for acting, as well as influence on acting for both on stage and screen, has defined him as one of the greatest actors of all time.

Olivier is easily a classical actor - he played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen and most of them are some major Shakespearean characters, like Hamlet. Well, if you are aware, Olivier is a British actor, director and producer and to have a taste of this gentleman's greatness, he is one of the famous actors of the 20th century.

This fine 1948 British's Hamlet is directed by and starred our beloved Sir Laurence Olivier. Hamlet is a 1948 British picture and it is one of many film adaptations of William Shakespeare's plays.
