The Branagh is good. I also recall a Richard Burton version from 1951, that I saw in the 80's in a Grad class.

Here's Olivier's 1944 version. I didn't realize it was on youtube,

"There's a great deal of talk about loyalty from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and is much less prevalent. One of the most frequently noted characteristics of great men who have remained great is loyalty to their subordinates."
- General George S. Patton, Jr

I didn't even know there was an Olivier movie version.  I'll have to get ahold of that.  Thanks! 

I also notice the date on that--1944.  It must have had special power for the people of England in the midst of the War.
The chief mark of the Declaration of Independence is the theory of equality.  It is the pure classic conception that no man must aspire to be anything more than a citizen, and that no man should endure to be anything less. 

--GK Chesterton

I believe in liberty very much as Jefferson did, allowing for the fact that a hundred years of history and experience have taught me to believe a little more than he did in original sin.

--also GK Chesterton

Thread-crapping.
Commenting on a post in a negative manner, called 'thread-crapping', is not allowed.
Stay on topic, start your own topic or move along.
Be respectful of your fellow members! Saying you are "real" or "100%" or "with all due respect" does not forgo being gracious, respectful and kind and will get your thread removed.
