In the inspired Olivier concept, Shakespeares play begins as a performance in the Globe Theatre, shifting in broad cinematic terms to an epic narrative of Henry V, who had developed from a dissolute youth to a purposeful monarch. Proving his ability as a soldier and skillful leader, he unites the dissident factions in the English army and goes on to crush the French, against enormous odds, at Agincourt. Arranging a treaty with the French court, he woos Princess Katharine to whom he is formally betrothed as part of the peace agreement.
Grand staging of the Shakespearean play of King Henry V and his famous victory at the battle of Agincourt on St. Crispins Day, October 15, 1415. Director and star Sir begins the movie as a staged version of the play at the Globe theater in 1600, eventually moving to the more usual soundstage, and then returning to the Globe for the final scenes.
