C+ (Okay).

A prince's dead father asks for revenge. Inconsistent, but sometimes very effective.

Prince Hamlet struggles over whether or not he should kill his uncle, whom he suspects has murdered his father, the former king. (IMDb) ( )

Skillful production and wisely done in black and white, but cutting Shakespeare by half leaves too many casualties. ( )
