As you like it (1936) Laurence Olivier, Elisabeth Bergner | Shakespeare’s Forest of Love & Lies

[@arladicey]

Sir Laurence Olivier, one of the greatest Shakespearean/film actors of the 20th century. Here we see him in the prime of his youth and beauty. Classic!

[@Рысь-б8р]

Боже! Какой красавец Оливье в молодости, первый раз вижу его в таком возрасте, он затмил Алена Делона.

[@garyabbott3861]

@@Рысь-б8р There is another movie I more associate him with--Hitchcock's Rebecca. Hitch of course had to augment the ending of Daphne DuMaurier's novel. He couldn't let Mrs. Danvers "end" be ambiguous. He had to drop a flaming ceiling on her!

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

@@Рысь-б8р Not exactly. Nobody eclipses Alain Delon, but Delon did come close.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Sorry, Olivier did come close. Both great actors. Delon instinctive, Olivier classical.

Amazing to see Olivier this young! David Lean edited this film and Jack Cardiff was the camera assistant, both would go on to become two of the greatest filmmakers. And then there’s JM Barrie, who wrote the treatment!

Enchanting as first love. Bergner was famous in this role and you can see why. There was a great tradition of foreign-born Shakespearean actors going back to Salvini and I find her accent delightful. Olivier plays Orlando perfectly as a beautiful goof. Watch next the film he loved best, his magnificent Henry V. The whole cast here is classic and colorizing only heightens the lushness of the sets and costumes. Thanks so much for posting.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Colorizing is an abomination.

[@sitarnut]

Oh, Yes! Bergner is the living end.. her accent and everything about her was spellbinding to these old eyes. Oh, to have a wife such as she. I did once, now passed on. I remember Hildegarde Neff as well... another gorgeous blonde actress. Oh, for the good old days of even the 1960's...but alas it's not to be... sanity, beauty, grace and class are thin nowadays.

[@sitarnut]

@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 I understand Liz-baby, but to each his or her own.... I loved it... the original looks muddy to me, fuzzy. It's just an opinion, we've all got them. And, you are correct in that some colorized films are a horror. The great unifying thing is Shakespeare's lines. Peace out.

[@ianedwards4400]

There have been many great actors from Great Britain and Hollywood, but few have been really outstanding. This applies the star of this movie, the great Laurence Olivier, our very own Shakespeare's Hamlet. Just look at the way he speaks with his eyes; even when not speaking, everything is given to us on a plate in the subtext of emotions. Dashing, daring, and commanding, he was all this and much more. Another powerhouse of talent was his gorgeous wife, Vivien Leigh. May their souls rest in peace!

[@emilyseal3207]

I don't know where "Very few have been outstanding," comes from: Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, Timothy Dalton, Emma Thompson, Judie Dench, Michael York, ....all British stage actors, classically trained, sensational.

I normally find Shakespeare hard going, but that film was good. Sir Laurence Olivier and Elizabeth Bergner were great. I was pleasantly surprised to see John Laurie (Frazer from Dad's Army). A great actor. Thanks for posting this movie. 🙂👍

I thought Rosalind had an infectious personality and played the role in an impish way. She was convincing. I thought the whole presentation was beautifully produced and directed. Colour makes it more real than in Monocchrome

[@ausbrum]

James Laurie did a season with the RSC and later headed a Shakespeare Company for JC Williamson Theatres in Australia. He found late fame in Dad's Army. William Walton composed the music for Olivier's Hamlet, Henry V and Richard lll.

Produced in Britain and imported to the US for TCF to release. Decent colorization, difficult because of the flicker in the print. One can see why Olivier won over Vivien Leigh later on.

When you hear Olivier speak Shakespeare the words come tripping off the tongue so effortlessly. The failings of actors doing Shakespeare is too often the lines are spoken and heard as lines. Like heavy-handed pronouncements. Without the filter to calm the tenor of the character's mood.

When this was done, Olivier had little experience as a Shakespearean actor, but he corrected that in the next few years. This version is severely abridged. Better is the BBC film starring Helen Mirren and lasting an hour more. It is at the Internet Archive.

Meh! So, 'typically' arrayed a 'Shakespearean ' film of Its' time-frame in Its: hodge-podge of Set/costume design, antiquated Acting style, and at times the Pacing is just too theatrically stilted....BUT!! The spoken delivery is just WONDEROUS and allows the audience to sit and not only enjoy the show, but also to perceive and grasp with intelligence Shakespeare's spoken words. What with Olivier's very attractive looks one sees what in the boudoir dept. So many women and MEN, found (can easily see why Danny Kaye could barely ever to keep his hands off-of-him), and Yes, was well understood by many that Judith Anderson was a master in the role of Rosalind (but that the reason she did not get the role is that she really, really DID NOT care nor personally like Olivier----the Man. But did LIKE and appreciated his acting abilities.
