Macbeth

1971

Roman Polanski Director
	Columbia Pictures Production Company
	Playboy Production Company

Ambitious fellow spurred on by eerie prophecy and his good lady wife begins murdering his way to the Scottish throne.

Extremely bloody and powerful telling of the tragedy of Macbeth courtesy of Mr Polanski, with great performances from Finch and Shaw. The perfect antidote for anyone that thinks Shakespeare too dull.

Ronald Lacey oft appears in the cast list, but I see him not.
