On this thrilling episode Patrick and Lauren dive into Hamlet! The Best Picture winner for 1948. It's a British film adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name, adapted and directed by and starring Laurence Olivier.
This particular version, like all versions, is not without controversy. Massive cuts to the script, artistic license by Olivier, rearranging of scenes. We discuss what works and what doesn't work.
We're also joined by Deven Anderson. A New York based actor, creator, artist, and member of the comedy parody troupe, The Usual Rejects.
So join us as we walk through the first film adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
