Second viewing; first seen on December 18, 1988.
Shortened title: Henry V
Based on the play by William Shakespeare, written around 1599.
An English king thinks he has rights over the throne of France, and wages war on that country.
Very pretty to look at, but the text did not move me. Reportedly the play was bowdlerized to conform to the war effort. Anyway, wars may not all be stupid, but this one surely seems so.
