Wissenswertes
This is the only Shakespearean movie in which all four leading actors and actresses (Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith, Frank Finlay, and Joyce Redman) were nominated for Oscars.

Patzer
Desdemona's chest is still going up and down (like she's breathing) after she dies.

Zitate
Iago: O beware my lord,of jealousy! It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.

Alternative Versionen
The film's U.S. DVD release restores the Warner Bros. logo backed by a red curtain and fanfare music to the opening credits, and the "Intermission" title card about ninety minutes into the film. These have not been seen since the film's original U.S. release; they were not featured on the videocassette edition. The long-deleted "intermission break" occurs immediately after Othello says to Iago, "Now art thou my lieutenant" and Iago answers "I am your own forever".

Amazing acting misunderstood by many today.

This is a filmed play. Second, his interpretation is a valid one and I didnt know there was a rule that actors could not play characters of different races. That kind of reverse racism is exactly what is to be avoided. Judge the acting for acting's sake. Olivier uses a full octave voice lower for the performance, unatural to his usual tenor voice. If one simply judges the acting, it should be seen as a powerful piece of work. Another performance of this is by Anthony Hopkins, also quite excellent, with different shadings.
