Starring Orson Welles, Jeanette Nolan, Dan O'Herlihy

The first of an occasional series of 'Shakespeare Around the World' - this highly original, imaginative version of Macbeth was filmed by Orson Welles in three weeks. He called it 'a kind of violently sketched charcoal drawing of a great play.'
In characteristic fashion, Welles altered the play's text, plot and some characters. The result is an engrossing, always entertaining film of extravagant virtuosity.
