I really liked the stylishness of the Orson Welles version(s) (1948) both 107 minutes (lots of heavy Scottish accents) and 89 minutes (lots of unaccented dialogue, and long intro by Welles.) The amazing surreal/impressionistic sets. Both versions are worthy.

Definitely a hard artistic act to follow.

I love the Welles version. I like the longer one with the accents, but I wish he had included the spoken intro to it. A really good stage version of it is the Royal Shakespeare video with Ian McKellen and Judy Dench.
