Shakespeare's Birthday! AS YOU LIKE IT (1936)

William Shakespeare’s AS YOU LIKE IT 1936—Comedy/Romance—1 hr 36 mins—NR This film version of the famed Shakespearean comedy features a young Laurence Olivier as Orlando and Elisabeth Bergner as Rosalind. As the story goes, Rosalind, smitten by Orlando and not able to get his attention, disguises herself as a boy to more easily remain in Orlando's vicinity. Eventually Orlando grows to like his new friend and Rosalind is stuck playing a boy with a boy with whom she'd rather be a girl. Confusing? Director Paul Czinner does a fine job executing the concept. Shown in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday!
