Famous Scenes from Shakespeare No. 2: Macbeth Act II, Scene 2 and Act V, Scene I
Directed by Henry Cass
This short film features two atmospheric scenes from Shakespeare's famous tragedy: Act II Scene 2, the murder scene, and Act V Scene 1, with Lady Macbeth and that damned spot. The wonderful Wilfrid Lawson and Cathleen Nesbitt make such a fine murderous duo in the first scene that one wishes the whole play had been filmed. At least we have the sleepwalking scene as compensation, where Nesbitt is joined by Felix Aylmer and Catherine Lacey. This is one of two short films produced under the umbrella title Famous Scenes from Shakespeare
