Directed by Laurence Olivier
(1945) Twang! As the English archers fend off the over-armored French nobility in the battle of Agincourt – but first the camera glides over a quaintly charming miniature of Elizabethan London, descends to the Globe Theatre to observe the first scenes of the play performed in the style of the time, then in stylized sets based on the Book of the Hours, and finally on the location-filmed (in neutral Ireland) battlefield. A stylistic tour de force for first-time director Olivier, heroic in the title role, and both a war propaganda and artistic smash. DCP restoration. Approx. 137 min.
