Henry V (Laurence Olivier) has recently become king of England after redeeming himself from a misspent youth of roistering and low companions. Most of the plot concerns a war with France, ostensibly over an insult offered by the French king Charles VI (Harcourt Williams) but in fact over territory in France disputed by the French and English thrones. Henry travels to France with his forces, both nobles like the Duke of Gloucester (Michael Warre) and Henry’s old companions Pistol (Robert Newton) and Nym (Frederick Cooper). Several battles and the wooing of a French princess (Renee Asherson) ensue. |
