Title: Thank God for Mr. Luhrmann!
Review: This is the silliest thing I have ever seen. Once again the gorgeous Mr. Olivier follows the rule of If You Cant Do It Good Do It Loud. Look out whenever he has a speech more than two lines long! He will start out low and fast and get faster and louder and louder and louder until I think the other characters give in just so he will shut up. Olivier does this in every Shakespeare I have seen except As You Like It, which he must have made before someone told him the Secret of Playing Shakespeare above. Watching this movie is like visiting a tomb, and it proves the truth of the statement that the only good Shakespeare is contemporary Shakespeare. I am not even going to mention the costuming in the last scene, which anyone in mixed company or with children should be made keenly aware of before showing the entire preceeding play.
