Yeah-Yeah. OK-OK. So, back at the Academy Awards Presentation for 1948 - "Hamlet" won a grand total of 4 Oscars in all. Yep. It really did. Well - Let me tell ya - After viewing this 157-minute film adaptation of Shakespeare's play (70 years after that fact) - I just can't imagine anyone feeling that strongly about this production as to actually want to award it so highly with 4 Oscars. I really can't. Yeah. OK. There were (Indeed) some impressive moments that took place throughout Hamlet's over-long running time - But, when it came to actor, Laurence Olivier's direction of this film, far too often the word "heavy-handed" came to my mind. It really did.
