His voice plumbs the depths, soars the heights. Magnificent.

A juggernaut of an actor! - A joy to watch, and bliss to hear him utter the bards words! - He’ll NEVER bested! ❤

What an adorable ad! Rest in Peace, Christopher Reeve! My Superman! 💜☮️

When best of started airing in 1996 i just knew it that they would show syndicated bandstand but the furtherest they got was August 1985

This I will be listening to again and again. Geat artistry are nothing you find many times in life…

The one and only Richard Burton…..the greatesr among the best greats!!!!

Not a fan of the pace of this, it feels like he's reciting hamlet instead of playing hamlet

He was - will always be- the best Hamlet. Ever. RIP, RB!

Everytime i see christopher reeves or him as superman brings tear to my eye What a legend So glad i grew up watching his films him as superman growing up watching him as superman was an honour and a blessing His smile at the end il always go on youtube watch it every now an then So good reminds me off my younger days

He said, "pitch" rather than, "pith"

Richard Burton had stage presence

Я бы свои деньги на Бёртона не потратила. Плебей!

Бёртону можно только сапоги чистить у принца Гамлета.

Среднее исполнение. Все на одной ноте, нет крика души, нет обертонов в голосе. Похоже на кухонную брань.

Гамлет у Бёртона похож на озирающегося вора. Какая разница со Смоктуновским! У того один голос выражал множество оттенков.

John Cullum is very agile for a big man.

This basically it's "What if Superman raised Homelander"

There’s something tragic yet beautiful about this man 😢

Burton is the best of the six fine actors I have watched who have played Hamlet, The Dane. His strong Welsh voice was truly mesmerizing. I wish I could have seen him perform this live. We will not see his like again.

Gosh, Nimoy was gorgeous in 1973!

Nessa época so se falava em supe-rmam e michael Jackson, era o mesmo nível de glamour.

Leonard Nimoy has the most wonderful laugh. I sure he enjoyed this interview since he was a photographer also. I bet after the interview his picked Mr. Halsman's brain on photography. I would have. Actually, it would have been Leonard's brain I would have picked. I loved him. RIP Leonard.

This commercial was later removed from television early due to all the canon related deaths which followed.

“To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep- No more, and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to; ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep- To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause; there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life: For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin; who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the[…]” Excerpt From Hamlet William Shakespeare books.apple.com/us/book/hamlet/id916363037 This material may be protected by copyright.

To think Thanos could sound like this, yeah I don't think it would work that way. The result that Josh Brolin eventually delivered in the movies is phenomenal.

Is this what Josh Brolin meant and had in mind for Thanos?

The pain of a genius. Phil.

if only Larry never existed, this would be the 1 ..........

In college our english professor had us read hamlet so it was the only shakespearian play i ever read. Its genious and that Professor held in high regard Richard Burtons version. Yet he presented taming of the shrew by a actors ensamble whose performance was the best even better than the Elizabeth Taylor and Charles Burton. But i agree his hamlet is very good.

YaAll obviously ain’t seen/heard Kenneth Branaghs much later version in a more introspective voice expression than that of Burtons earlier times and his loud ‘ out there’ version but both versions appropriate for their times as Burtons was on stage and Branaghs filmed,so Branagh could take the volume down and the camera and audio could get up close for quiter speech.Capiche?

The one commercial I never saw and it was this. This was cool.

I got choked up watching this. RIP to the greatest, Christopher Reeve ❤.

A vain man more interested in his own “performance” than the words and sentiments of Hamlet.

Too much acting at the expense of heart and understanding. Hamlet is talking to himself, not an audience. I’m surprised “directors” overlook this. We are flies on the wall, not the recipients of this speech.

0:38 Don't know if it's an ad or an army command

Is That..Mr.Christopher Reeve's son..Mr.Will Reeve?

Bottom line.......Richard Burton was a genius. The films he made did not do him justice. He had to be seen on stage to appreciate his power.

I have to admit, I thought I would become sad but I did not.😊

If you think is English was wonderful you should have heard him in Welsh it was even better

How elegant and beautifully Cullum moves.

I've never thought of singing the rhyming couplet before. Quite genius.

Comparatively this performance Is much more of an angry seething passion the one before seems a quieter morose hamlet the lack of costume make this one more dark and gritty they are both quite marvelous and you can see the flash in his eyes that is both disquieting and mesmerizing as the fury and the passion of man possessed from the depths of despair and darkness his projections from his tormented soul out into the darkened theater that must have been electrifying I have rewatched it multiple time just to see it again and again and am blown away every time super intense

The best british actor to have never received a knighthood.

有難き時代に生きている…😔幸せデス❗😄

80s to early 2000s. The best decades human kind have gone through. Unforgettable, unbeatable times.

Isn't this just Burton teaching Ophelia how to play Hamlet and himself remembering it again in a drunken stupor? This with all respect to Richard Burton and all his wives.

This is awful. Just shouting. No real idea about how to bring this alive for an audience

rest in peace christopher reeve you will be the best and the real superman ever

Most unique photographic artist!
