    Editorial Reviews

    Shakespeare's tragedy, made for British television, is given a full-blooded rendition here with the great Laurence Olivier in the title role and a stellar cast to support him, in the tale of a king torn apart by the ambition and treachery within his family and by his own pride. Mark Hockley, All Movie Guide

    October 29, 2004: Very engaging presentation of a classic. Olivier's talent makes this a gem.
