Macbeth is a 1960 Australian TV film based on the play by William Shakespeare.
The play was filmed in conjunction with The Life and Death of Richard II which was shot in Sydney.
[3] It was set in the eleventh century and was described as akin to Orson Welles' 1948 film production of the play.
[4] The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the production as "visually efficient" but also "a dreadful warning of what can happen when a producer becomes frightened of a great text... a torrent of gabble and shouting.
Some of the most concise dramatic poetry in all Shakespeare received treatment worthy of the race results.
