Description
Another of the Shakespeare films emanating from the group centering around Lindsay Kemp and his all-purpose band of theatre and cinema actors. Coronado later directed Kemp's 1984 A Midsummer Night's Dream. The chief innovative feature seems to be that Hamlet is played by a pair of twin actors to underscore the Prince's split personality (BUFVC 4)
