I have no idea why i posted this

But i love this film clip from the Laurence Olivier 1944 version, and the stirring build up of the soundtrack makes it even better

Best bit starts at about 7:45

Imo, all he did was ad another play to the Shakespeare lot for studying. I'm an ex-lecturer and find that play...

I haven't seen it for ages. The last time I studied it was part of a WW II propaganda link. I think that I have seen the Kenneth Br'naaaagh one most recently.

They have a head stone there now at the point
of the accident, the cash for it was raised by the fan club. Flowers there all year round.
