This is the first study to provide a comprehensive analysis of Olivier's Shakespearean feature films and his unique Shakespearean star image. Through an in-depth examination of Olivier's little-known, unmade film Macbeth, as well as his adaptations of Shakespeare's Henry V, Hamlet and Richard lll, Jennifer Barnes offers a detailed exploration of Olivier's entire cinematic Shakespearean oeuvre in relation to his distinctive form of stardom. Considering the development of Olivier's image in relation to the industrial and cultural contexts of the wartime and post-war British film and theatre industries, the volume also analyses Olivier's life writing and published autobiographies and is supplemented by numerous illustrations. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Prologue -- Henry V -- Hamlet -- Richard III -- Macbeth I (1955-60): contexts -- Macbeth II (2012-): legacy -- Epilogue. 600 10 $a Olivier, Laurence, $d 1907-1989 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $v Film adaptations. 600 17 $a Olivier, Laurence, $d 1907-1989. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00049225 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Film adaptations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710491 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710042342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3B06310F11D11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
