Othello (1965) Laurence Olivier

Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson The 1965 Othello is literally a photographed stage play: a filmed record of the National Theatre Production of 1964, as staged by John Dexter and starring Laurence Olivier. As the easily led, fatally jealous Moor of Venice, Olivier wears thick black-faced makeup and speaks in an uncharacteristically deep, bellow-like voice. Some considered his portrayal of Othello to be an unflattering stereotype; others regard Olivier's interpretation as one of the finest Shakespearean performances ever captured on film. Less flamboyant, but no less effective, are Frank Finlay as Iago, Maggie Smith as Desdemona, Derek Jacobi as Cassio, and Joyce Redman as Emilia. Oscar nominations went to Olivier, Finlay, Smith, and Redman. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059555/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othello_(1965_film) Awards:Nominated for 4 Oscars.

Ah, the incomparable Maggie Smith, and her first Oscar nomination. A movie camera recording her sleeping would be compelling, the great actress is she. Dench next to the bed doing handstands, the cancan and hand-puppetry could not distract from Maggie’s slumber performance.
Namaste and care,
