It is well worth seeing and, in addition, can be recommended to teachers who want to give children an opportunity of seeing the play well acted and well spoken. Full Review

Regarded as a film, As You Like It is less satisfactory. There are far too many dull middle-length shots from a fixed camera, so that we might just as well be seated in the circle above the deep wide stage at Drury Lane. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Rather bland recitation of Shakespeare notable only for an exceedingly young Olivier.

Description by OLDIES.com:

Love at first sight sets a long, comedic path for a pair of young nobles in this William Shakespeare classic. Rosalind, niece of a cruel, power-hungry duke, instantly falls for the brave and handsome Orlando de Boys. Orlando is struck by her beauty, but through the misdeeds of his brother Oliver, is forced to live in Arden Forest as a fugitive. Rosalind disguises herself as a man and follows Orlando in an effort to discover the depths of his love. Her playful courtship proves they are meant for each other, but the pair will have to find a way to overcome their exile before they can be wed.

Shakespeare's beloved tale of romantic games and love's triumph is brought to life through a charming adaptation by J.M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan). As You Like It was Sir Laurence Olivier's first onscreen appearance in a Shakespearean work.

Product Description:

This frothy adaptation of Shakespeare's 1600 comedy marks Olivier's first screen appearance in a Shakespearean role.
