Thriller starring Susan George. After their parents divorce, one daughter lives with her mother in England while the other lives with her father in Portugal. Following the death of her mother, Marianne (George) stands to inherit a large sum of money and also a number of documents containing information that will incriminate her father, who was a crooked judge. As knowledge of her new found wealth circulates, would-be kidnappers conspire to kill her and claim the substantial sum of money. While her father wants the documents, her sister wants the money and they will each stop at nothing to get what they want.
Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this classic adaptation of Shakespeare's play about the king who led England to victory in the Battle of Agincourt. The film pays tribute to its origins by opening in a version of the Globe Theatre in 17th century London, where Henry (Olivier) takes to the stage along with a variety of nobles to discuss his plans to stake a claim to the French throne. As the range of Henry's ambitions make themselves known, the theatrical artifice gives way to a more naturalised style and follows Henry as he sets sail from Southampton with his army. Inspired by Henry, the invading English hand the French several defeats, culminating in a triumph against far superior numbers at Agincourt. Shot during WWII, the film was designed to raise morale in the ongoing battle against Nazi Germany and earned Olivier an Academy Award for his 'outstanding achievement' in bringing the film to screen.
