As You Like It (1936)

★★★★★ · So love this movie! · TheGlobalVagabond · 2013-11-06

I can't believe I had never seen it - although I did see Kathryn Hepburn in the Berger role at the Pasadena Playhouse when I was a pre-teen (didn't know what a privilege that was at the time).

Jack Cardiff was the camera operator for this production and he is probably the finest ever. His career spanned from silent movies into the 21st century.

★★★ · Wrong Olivier · rclo · 2012-06-13

The descriptor of the film states: "A particular highlight is Olivier's magnificent delivery of the famous 'All the world's a stage...' monologue." Sorry, that's not Olivier. However, the film does showcasethe young Olivier's stunning good looks. On the story, itself, it requires extreme suspension of disbelief to accept that any man could be fooled by the object of his desires into not recognizing her even though her only "disguise" is men's clothing. She still wears lipstick, for crying out loud. Add to that, her feminine voice and, as noted, distinctive accent, and I found myself wondering…
