(note: The writeup about the Shakespeare play has disappeared...)
Also the title of Kenneth Branagh's movie based on the William Shakespeare play. It's a wonderful version, with lots of laughs and good actors, such as Richard Briers, Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson, Michael Keaton and Kenneth himself. Among the other actors you will find many of Kenneth's favourites from the British elite, such as Phyllidia Law mother of Emma Thompson, Brian Blessed - who is a passionate climber of Mount Everest and Imelda Staunton . Keanu Reeves is really , really awful though.
It is interesting to see how Kenneth Branagh not hesitates to bring in American accents into a Shakespeare play.
