Laurence Olivier's adaptation of Henry V is one of the finest Shakespeare films ever made, full of rousing action, beautiful colors, and passionate performances. Henry V is the story of the newly crowned king of England, who fights the French for possession of Normandy. Olivier's direction is inventive, beginning the film as if it were a performance at the Globe Theatre, and having it slowly expand so the final battle scenes take place in realistic settings. Released in 1944 during the height of World War II, Henry V didn't receive an American release until 1946, upon which Olivier won a special Academy Award for "his outstanding achievement as actor, producer and director in bringing Henry V to the screen." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, RoviRelease Date Henry V (The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France Jun 17, 1946 Wide

Review For Henry V (The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France
While definitely athletic, pageant-minded and somewhat recognizable after all of the war dramas that have come out since Elizabethan times, no movie has given a more poignant impression of men in battle or been so cutting about the waste and folly of war.Manny Farber-The New Republic
The movies have produced one of their rare great works of art.
James Agee-TIME Magazine
One can pick plenty of bones with Laurence Olivier's direction of the Shakespeare play, but this 1945 film is still a powerful production from many standpoints.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader
The color, the sets, the expanse and the imaginative quality of the filming are unexcelled.
Variety Staff-Variety
If it has power now, it's for Larry's commanding soldier-king and for his audacious sub-Brechtian adapatation, which scythes the text to reveal the heart - notably in the extraordinary, moving, pre-battle 'A little touch of Harry' exposing cold fear's co
Wally Hammond-Time Out
A stunningly brilliant and intriguing screen spectacle, rich in theatrical invention, in heroic imagery and also gracefully regardful of the conventions of the Elizabethan stage.
Bosley Crowther-New York Times
Experimental in its approach to adapating Shakespeare to the big screen, Laurence Olivier's film is an innovative, stunningly looking, well-acted work.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Great Olivier performance and direction.
Steve Crum-Video-Reviewmaster.com
Olivier's terrific performance and William Walton's sweeping score render it one of the best Shakespeare films ever made.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
A bold, clear reading of Shakespeare's play and an exhilarating piece of wartime propaganda.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
The dashing Olivier gives an exceptional performance, whether galvanizing his troops with his soaring oratory, or realizing on the eve of combat the king's profound isolation.
-Total Film
A towering performance from Olivier cements this as a true example of flag-waving cinema.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
The first completely serious attempt to bring Shakespeare to the sound film.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Shakespeare's finest hour on the big screen to date.
Richard Luck-Film4
A colorful, spectacular adaptation, made to inspire the WWII troops, which it does. Olivier at the top of his art.
Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
That the film should get made at all was an extraordinary achievement, but Olivier, in his directing debut, also gave us the first large-scale radical movie re-interpretation of Shakespeare long before others.
Almar Haflidason-BBC
Olivier not only took on the title role but the director's mantle, performing both roles magnificently.

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. "42" tells the story of two men-the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey-whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking-ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. (c) WB

But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. -- (C) Warner Bros PG-13
