I knew him well\u201d, and \u201cto be or not to be\u201d, his performance feels somewhat overshadowed by the drudging pace of the film.\u00a0 Yet I did have to ask myself if at any point if he was ever typecast for these moody, melancholy parts during his career, such as Heathcliff in \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d and Max de Winter in \u201cRebecca\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>As for the supporting cast, I felt that Jean Simmons\u2019 performance did initially come off as flat and one-dimensional, but she did shine in the scenes when Ophelia loses her mind\u2014it\u2019s in her insanity that she suddenly becomes interesting.\u00a0 Despite this, Simmons did go on to score a Best Supporting Actress nomination.<\/p><p>The sets are fairly simple, reminiscent of a stage production with an atmosphere complimented by shadows, fog and dramatic lighting.\u00a0 Olivier does create a stark environment for the audience yet the technique was very similar to Orson Welles\u2019 own Shakespearean productions of the time.<\/p><p>Overall, though there are moments of brilliance in Olivier\u2019s \u201cHamlet\u201d, I am a little surprised that it won Best Picture over \u201cTreasure of the Sierra Madre\u201d, which won John Huston the awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay.\u00a0 Go ahead and watch if you\u2019re a fan of Shakespeare, but don\u2019t expect to be completely enthralled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db0aecc e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"db0aecc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70eacbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"70eacbd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/?p=817&#038;preview_id=817&#038;preview_nonce=8a2b1a4bdf&#038;preview=true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Previous Winner 1947<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d8aa809 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4d8aa809\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=250&#038;action=elementor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to Home<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca24d22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ca24d22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/andthebestpicturegoesto.com\/staging\/5348\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=832&#038;action=elementor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Next Winner 1949<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f55fa4d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5f55fa4d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the Best Picture goes to&#8230;. 1948Two City FilmsJ.
