the major fault in this film be that it be impossible to believe any of these people would ever be cast in a professional production of macbeth . hearing david lansbury soft voice struggle laboriously with the famous tomorrow and tomorrow and and tomorrow speech make it impossible to believe anyone would ever consider him for the role . i keep believe therefore that he do not get the part because he be a lousy actor while not because a big name be available . then when we see portion of the play in rehearsal it be difficult to believe the director be not parodying thing with a hopelessly miscast and misdirect travesty of actor who be unable to articulate or even understand the verse and director who see the play through their own screwball interpretation . sometimes director be so anxious to have their film do ( and writer think they have the ability to direct their own work ) that they settle for less . this appear to be such an example .
