True...Olivier’s Hamlet was a bit light in the loafers, and I couldn’t shake the fact that David Tennant had been DOCTOR WHO, when I saw him do it.
I don’t think Olivier’s was light in the loafers, but it was reductionist to only focus on Freudian and Oedipal elements. It feels much shorter than it is. He really took the pruning sheers to the text.
