As You Like It - Laurence Olivier - 1936 - Remastered 4K
William Shakespeare - As You Like It (1936 film).
This is Olivier's first performance of Shakespeare on screen - he was 29 years old.
Rosalind ELISABETH BERGNER
Orlando LAURENCE OLIVIER
Celia SOPHIE STEWART
Duke Senior HENRY AINLEY
Duke Frederick FELIX AYLMER
The 1936 adaptation is the first time that a Shakespearean play was made into a sound film. It was directed in London by Paul Czinner, an Austrian Jew that fled his home country to avoid political persecution. The film stars his wife, Elizabeth Bergner, also an Austrian Jewish refugee. To the persecuted, the escape to the Forest of Arden does not simply represent, as Celia sees it, a place to spend time and relax so much as an escape to freedom. This view is reflected in the film created by refugees, and speaks to other refugees and exiles.
