Steven Berkoff Remembers... Hamlet at Elsinore

Steven Berkoff remembers one of his earliest screen roles, as a junior player in Hamlet in Elsinore, a 91热爆 co-production with Danish television that starred Christopher Plummer as the prince.

In 1964, a young Steven Berkoff was cast in one of his earliest screen roles, as a junior player in Hamlet in Elsinore, a 91热爆 co-production with Danish television. Shot in Denmark by director Philip Saville, it starred Christopher Plummer as Hamlet and Michael Caine, in his only Shakespeare role, as Horatio. Here, Berkoff shares his memories of the production and how he got involved, gives his verdict on how the film stands up today, and describes - as only he can - the excitement and inspiration he felt from watching Plummer and Caine at work.
