![]() ![]() Who will ever forgot those closing minutes of the film when Hamlet's body is taken "like a soldier" to his tomb high up on those steps. Though there are some parts of the film score which are faux 'Elizabethan era' music - which was fashionable in films at the time, right up to the early 70's - the majority of the score is superb. Trouble is this recording is actually a Shakespearean "scenario" with the voice of John Gielgud. Martin in the Fields on U-Tube, where Marriner uses the original Walton orchestration. I've searched everywhere in vain for the original soundtrack for years but I've found this version from the Academy of St. Here's one of the most fabulous film scores you'll ever encounter William Walton's "Hamlet".
