Branagh (in a incredible directorial debut) breathing fine and meaning into ì
the worthy text. A different reading from Olivier's but no less impressive; ì
when he finishes his speach before leading his men into the battle at ì
Agincourt, you're ready to enlist. Supporting cast is peppered with familiar ì
faces from the elite of british theatre and film. Oscar winner for Costume ì
design. ***1/2 (Leonard Maltin's Movie and Vide Guide 1993)
