Henry V

Laurence Olivier · 1944 CE · Film · English · Contemporary

Opening in the wooden Globe of 1600, with actors bustling in the wings and groundlings heckling, the action dissolves outward into a storybook France where a young English king presses a claim and lands an army. The night before Agincourt he walks the camp in a borrowed cloak to hear what his men make of him. Made with government money during the war and dedicated to the commandos.
