I love all of Welles' Shakespeare films! I think "Othello" is probably the best one overall, followed by "Chimes at Midnight" and then "Macbeth". Amazing things in all three, but the single best sequence in any Welles' Shakespearean movie is the fight in the mud that is the centerpiece of "Chimes".I also love Olivier's 1944 version of "Henry V." And I shall never forget Peter Cushing in Olivier's 1948 "Hamlet".
Because I once acted in a university production heavily based on it, I have a special place in my heart for Zefferelli's 1968 "Romeo and Juliet."
Just curious, how do the French jokes in "Henry V", and that great conversation between Catherine and her maid in Act III, Scene IV go over in France?
