Description
Cast: Orson Welles, Jeanette Nolan, Roddy McDowall
Welles cast himself in the title role for his brisk, low-budget adaptation of Shakespeare’s Scottish play made at Republic Pictures. A 35mm print of Welles’s original version of the film, courtesy of UCLA Film & Television Archive, will be screened. This version restores the cast’s Scottish accents and about 16 minutes of footage that was removed for Macbeth’s initial American release.
