prof_pangaeaSo, I'm doing a google search to find anything about Nicol Williamson, as there is a very sorry lack of information about him online, and I'm curious! Anywho, here is something someone said about his Hamlet:
"This Hamlet's tragedy is not that he could not make up his mind, but that his intelligence couldn't save him from his character."
AHHHHH, I want to see it so much, even though I found out that they really CUT the play (running time is like 117 minutes!!). Even if everyone else in the film is completely awful (which is impossible), it would be worth seeing just for five minutes of Williamson's acting. Ooh, I caught a glipmse of Gordon Jackson as Horatio, though... yee-ikes. Let's hope his beard wasn't as bushy as I thought.
