As You Like It*
(GB 1936)
Young lovers are banished and escape into the Forest of Arden under disguise.
Stagy but sprightly feature film adaptation (a rarity then) of Shakespeare's play, probably taking its cue from Warner's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Interesting as a historical item, particularly of the young Olivier from his early Shakespeare days.
Written by: J.M. Barrie, R.J. Cullen, from the play by William Shakespeare.
Producer/Director: Paul Czinner.
Starring: Elisabeth Bergner, Laurence Olivier, Sophie Stewart, John Laurie, Austin Trevor, Lionel Braham, Felix Aylmer, Leon Quartermaine, Henry Ainley.
Photography: Harold Rosson.
Music: William Walton.
