I saw this live, early 1978. I’d just turned ten. They locked the doors once it started. You couldn’t leave. Some things you never forget.

[@drewfu2671]

That’s so cool! Locked doors seem dramatic but hey it’s the THEATER! Lol

[@beverlyfletcher4458]

so did I! At university and went to the Donmar, Seven Dials, very often. A complete theatrical experience and the best production of this play I shall ever see.

[@pilotactor777]

So lucky to see it.

[@steerpike66]

I can barely imagine how frightening this would have been to see in the theatre; my hair literally stands on end watching the film.

[@keddy3859]

Prince Malcolm and his glowing white sweater never fail to crack me up. He's so precious; he looks like he's about to burst into tears while he's telling Macduff about what an awful person he is. This recording has lodged in my brain since grad school thirteen years ago, so I'm really happy to find it here!

Correction: great actors

[@michaelgrundy956]

I like the fact that King Duncan is beating his chest and saying 'Mea culpa' quiety to himself at the beginning, as if he has done something similar to Macbeth to get to the position of King. After all, 'we but teach bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.'

[@thescarletarcanatarot]

I always wondered that myself. Even if King Duncan didn’t physically murder anyone, the throne could’ve definitely been obtained by devious means.

[@beverlyfletcher4458]

What a treat. Saw the original production in London and never forgot it. wonderful.

[@mckavitt13]

What is so wonderful about Shakespeare filmed (no offence to the revered Globe or National Theatres, ofc) is that the actors may give every nuance to those subtleties so beloved of Shakespeare’s way. No need for the raised voice unless dramatically, whispers are welcome, every modulation a delight! Many many thanks for this chill & thus all the more moving presentation of the Bard’s feared ‘Scottish play’.

[@peterschaffter826]

Best Macbeth I've ever seen. I can't say enough good about it.

[@beverlyfletcher4458]

Agreed.

[@steerpike66]

Absolutely. I watch it every year and there's always something new, and it never gets any less chilling. The only version on film that comes close is the 2000 Anthony Sher/ Harriet Walter production, which closely resembles it; the claustrophobic, sunless atmosphere; the constant whispering; the unity and emptiness of the Macbeths as a married couple.

[@mohitalam2128]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this production. Such energy was applied in extracting out the best kind of performance from the actors that added to it the camera's continuous closeup roving over the faces and bodies of them didn't make us feel the absence of the background ambiance. Judy Dench however slightly looked elderly than the image of LM I had conceived in my mind. She looked more like a nun-sister and reminded me of Isabella of M & M of what would have happened to her if she had joined the nunnery. But her acting was matchless. Macduff's acting in the scene where Ross gave him the deadly news was so true to the emotion of somebody who had met with similar tragedy in real life. Excellent movie. My salute.

Best version on film. Really chilling. Everyone pale as ghosts; frigid and sweating with fear. McKellan drooling epileptically at the feast; Dench's awful shriek; Griffith Jones surrounded by light, looking like God the Father; McDiarmaid's goblin porter; now funny; now terrifying; and the witches with their horrible rotten dolls. Imagine being in the room with this. *Horror, horror, horror*
