Hamlet is the most often produced play in the western literary
canon, and a fertile global source for film adaptation. Samuel
Crowl, a noted scholar of Shakespeare on film, unpacks the process
of adapting from text to screen through concentrating on two
sharply contrasting film versions of Hamlet by Laurence Olivier
(1948) and Kenneth Branagh (1996). The films' socio-political
contexts are explored, and the importance of their screenplay, film
score, setting, cinematography and editing examined. Offering an
analysis of two of the most important figures in the history of
film adaptations of Shakespeare, this study seeks to understand a
variety of cinematic approaches to translating Shakespeare's
"words, words, words" into film's particular grammar and rhetoric
