Hamlet
Kevin Kline directs this 1990 New York Shakespeare Festival production of HAMLET, a production that received great critical acclaim during its stage run. This version was specially produced for television, and all the strengths of the production, mainly its fine cast of daring actors, shine through. Kline stars as Hamlet, the tortured prince, along with Dana Ivey as Gertrude and Brian Murray as Claudius, and this trio of principals take on the classic material with a vigour and freshness rarely seen in other, glossier, filmed versions of the play.

Customer Review
Kevin Kline's Hamlet is a surprisingly good production of the play. Shakespeare is an oral dramatist, much of whose power relies upon the vocal modulation ... read more »

Get Ready For Much Buttock-Clenching!
Okay, granted I only watched Part 1 of this DVD, but to be honest, that was as much as I could take. I love the play, but this version was very poor. I have ... read more »

Lethal Weapon (1987) According to Vanity Fair, Bruce Willis was originally considered for the... Read more
