'It would surely be unlikely for anyone to be well informed on both Shakespeare and the screen, yet here, and urgently welcome, is Anthony Davies ... Anyone who has attempted to analyse a film for writing purposes from memory or notes must pay tribute to the observation displayed in this book.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Davies' intelligent and lucid study is based upon the films of Olivier, Welles, Brook and Kurosawa, and represents another valuable addition to the academic study of Shakespeare in performance, reflecting a greater degree of collaboration between the university and the theatre.'
