in Russian. I had a book of modern prose Hamlet with me. Actually , pardon me Shakespeare, I did not need any words with the fantastic theatrical acting. To be or not to me was better than the deliberate looking performances of Lawrence Olivier and Richard Burton, the latter looking struggling in the role.
What I admired a lot was the performance of Anastasia Vertinskaya as Ophelia. Fantastic. I wish the Director had made Anna Karenina with her as Anna. All Annas of Hollywood are below par, even Vivien. And who in their right mind would cast Keira Knightley as a Russian Princess.I have not seen Tatiana Samoilova's performance yet.
Best Wishes
