Orson Welles. The shortest of Shakespeare's tragedies, Welles long considered Macbeth to be the most filmable of the Bard's work. As depicted by Welles, the title character is not a warrior king or conscience-stricken, poetic soul on a par with Hamlet rather, he is revealed to be a facile, superstitious man consigned to fate even as the character does not trust to fate.

Additional InformationA dark, moody screen version of the classic tragedy about a presumptuous Scottish prince's quest for power through patricide--in keeping with both the play's spirit and Welles' vision. As with his other masterpieces, Welles effectively mixes the use of shadow and oblique camera angles to achieve the ominous sense of a land in peril. Originally cut to 89 minutes for theatrical release, the film has been restored to its full 105 minutes, with dialogue redubbed by Welles and the other actors to cut down on the Scottish accents. Nominated for an award in the 1948 Venice Film Festival.
