Henry V (Blu-ray)

Film Description

Cry God for Harry, England, and Laurence Olivier! His adaptation of Shakespeare's play begins in a miniature Globe Theatre and slowly expands beyond the stage to become a film. The young King puts his rakish past behind him and rallies his men to invade France, winning against the enemy's superior numbers. The film was shot in Ireland to avoid the constant bombardment of the Blitz and Olivier was discharged from the Navy to make the film, which is as fine a piece of propaganda as was ever made, and a truly wonderful film. Good looking, beautifully staged, brilliantly reflexive, and immensely enjoyable.

Its full title is: 'The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France'.
