Please note this is a region B Blu-Ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-Ray player in order to play.   One of Shakespeare's most compelling histories complete with the great Battle Of Agincourt. Laurence Olivier won a special Academy Award for directing producing and starring in the film. His classic production of Shakespeare's 1599 play is filled with pomp and pageantry terrific acting and robust battle scenes.

Laurence Olivier directs and stars in this classic adaptation of Shakespeare's play about the king who led England to victory in the Battle of Agincourt. The film pays tribute to its origins by opening in a version of the Globe Theatre in 17th century London, where Henry (Olivier) takes to the stage along with a variety of nobles to discuss his plans to stake a claim to the French throne. As the range of Henry's ambitions make themselves known, the theatrical artifice gives way to a more naturalised style and follows Henry as he sets sail from Southampton with his army. Inspired by Henry, the invading English hand the French several defeats, culminating in a triumph against far superior numbers at Agincourt. Shot during WWII, the film was designed to raise morale in the ongoing battle against Nazi Germany and earned Olivier an Academy Award for his 'outstanding achievement' in bringing the film to screen.
