The speaker was Pistol, not Nym, and what he said was, "I kiss his dirty shoe . . . ," not "I'd kiss his dirty shoe." Sorry, John.

Have you seen my favorite Branagh movie that Branagh isn't even in? "A Midwinter's Tale" is a lovely little film about a little acting troupe who want to put on a version of Hamlet in a little English village. Hilarity and tears ensue. i can watch this movie every day. And Branagh COULD have played the lead... but i am so glad he chose not to. I am enjoying your blog a lot.

I certainly agree that Branagh has undoubtedly done the most to bring Shakespeare to new audiences than anyone else in recent years. Great review!

Why isn't this guy doing Russell Crowe/Christian Bale-level movies and parts? Believe it or no, I think Kline was nominated for a Golden Globe for this befuddled Jacques. However, I will always love him for his wonderfully melancholy--and perfectly coherent, on-the-nail--Melancholy Dane of some twenty years ago. Not my favorite read of Hamlet--yes, I'd give that one to Lester, too--but a wonderful one. I couldn’t agree more about both Kline (alas) and Lester (be still, my heart!)
