viewer's comments:
- This movie, in my opinion, remains the best rendition of Shakespeare's Macbeth, having seen other renditions of the same play. Except for a few lines that were omitted, all that one would expect or imagine after reading the text is protrayed in this powerful, well-filmed, well-acted and faithful-to-the-text movie. All the actors and actresses fared very well. Other renditions of Macbeth such as the one by Roman Polanski, though entertaining, are no match for this rendition of one of Shakespeare's classic plays. This version of Macbeth featuring Jayston and Hunt is a-must-watch for every fan of Shakespeare and lover of literature. You cannot get tired of watching it. In spite of the two or three omissions, I cannot but rate this version of Macbeth a five-star movie. I wished there was a DVD version of it!
