technicolor screen release of
hakespeare's great historical
drama, will open at the Nebraska
theater Thursday for a run of
only one week. The picture is
considered a triple triumph for
Laurence Oliver, its producer, di
rector, and star. The opening
scenes of the film show the audi
ence how the ancient play would
have been acted to a 16th cen
tury audience at the old Globe
theater at Bankside, London.
The theater is an enclosed, roof
less square with galleries running
around three sides, the small
stage projecting into the square
from the fourth side. Benches in
the galleries and oh the floor
of the enclosure provide the seat'i,
with a cheap standing room in
the rear.
Drenched.
Players and audience alike were
drenched if it happened to rain
during the performance. This is
shown in the movie in a scene
between Ancient Pistol (Robert
Newton) and Corporal Nym
(Frederick Cooper) outside the
Inn. Chorus, the compere (Leslie
Banks), introduces the audience
to Henry V (Laurence Oliver) in
1415, when the British monarch
is asking the Archbishop of Can
terbury (Felix Aylmer) and the
Bishop of Ely (Robert Helpmann)
about the justice of his claim
to the crown of France.
It Is at Southampton, where
Henry V embarks his army of 30,
000, not including horses, in 1,500
small vessels, that the film leaves

throne. War begins.
Hnry lays siege to Harfleur.
The walls are finally breached,
the town taken, but the cost is

ness, and Henry turns back to
Calais which was then an Eng
lish possession. A great French
army blocks his way at Agincoui t.
Henry stands to give battle, know
ing the great odds against him.
On the eve of the battle, the
French are jubilantly confident
of victory, but in the English camp
Henry humbly prays for victory,
then makes the rounds of his
camp, encouraging and cheering,
concious of the great weight of
responsibility which rests on the
shoulders of a king.

knights are laboriously mounted
on their gaily caparisoned charg
ers by means of pulleys, since
their heavy armor prevents them
mounting unaided. Then they at
tack. Their confidence in shat
tered by the English archers. A
hail of arrows checks the charge,
retreating knights become inex
tricably mixed with those behind
who are still advancing. The fal
len knights cannot mount again.
The Dauphin (Max Adrian) flees
and the Constable of France (Leo
Genn) is vanquished by Henry
in single combat Agincourt is
won.
The French Princess Katherine
(Renee Asherson) sees Henry
from a distance and falls in love
with him. And when Henry comes
to the French court he woos her
with a gallant ardor which even
tually has its reward. The French
and English royal houses ar
united by their marriage.
