Hamlet

Sir John Gielgud directed this Electronovision taping of the play Hamlet performed at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater on Broadway in 1964 (Electronovision was a short-lived gimmick which was basically closed-circuit TV). The most unusual thing about this film is that the actors are in street clothes instead of period costumes, and the sets are minimal, to say the least.
