About This Movie

Hamlet is a 1948 drama film directed by Laurence Olivier. Its leading cast includes Laurence Olivier, Basil Sydney and Eileen Herlie. It runs for 2 hours 33 minutes.

Synopsis

Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, Sir Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet continues to be the most compelling version of Shakespeare’s beloved tragedy. Olivier is at his most inspired—both as director and as the melancholy Dane himself—as he breathes new life into the words of one of the world’s greatest dramatists.
