Starring Orson Welles, Jeanette Nolan, Dan O'Herlihy
Considered by Richard Wilson, the associate producer, as 'the greatest experimental American film ever made under the Hollywood studio system', this highly original, imaginative version of Macbeth was filmed in three weeks. Welles called it 'a kind of violently sketched charcoal drawing of a great play'. The result is an engrossing film of extravagant virtuosity, being shown here in a newly restored version.
