Prince Hamlet struggles over whether or not he should kill his uncle| whom he suspects has murdered his father| the former King.
A well-executed labor of love from star and director Laurence Olivier, Hamlet not only proved that Shakespeare could be successfully adapted to the big screen,
it paved the way for further cinematic interpretations.
