The history of cinema and TV has many examples of inexplicable accents. In this film/TV production, Donald Sutherland has one of the strangest I have ever heard. He plays Fortinbras, a small but important part as it is that characters words that close the play. His performance is the reason I have only scored it a 7 as his performance aside, this is one of the best Hamlets I have ever seen. Plummer is spot on in the title role and both Michael Caine and Robert Shaw surprised me with the excellence of their performances. This was made in 1964 and I have only just seen it. (2023). Micahael Caine is one of the few performers in still alive...and not a lot of people know that!
