Description
Cast: Orson Welles, Michael MacLiammoir, Suzanne Cloutier
Hands down the greatest filmed adaptation of any Shakespeare play, Welles’s fleet, lively take on the Bard’s classic is infused with cinematic vigor. Shot on the fly over four years in Morocco and Italy, this self financed passion project remains a model of low budget ingenuity and a triumph of editing. Welles conjures a hurtling vision that belies its piecemeal production.
