God, what a dreadful butchery. If one wants to do Shakespeare, do Shakespeare. But to cut, edit, and rearrange as if you know better than he did how to write for effect and pace is pretty silly and damn near unwatchable. Never mind the tedious quivering of Lady Anne's voice. And hey, I'm sorry, but Olivier's acting here is not great.

I love Walton's music for this film, especially the tender moments featuring Lady Anne.

Unforgettable and haunting; Sir Laurence Olivier could not be bettered.
