Curiosidades
The opening model shot of London was huge, 50 feet by 70 feet in size, and made of plaster. It took four months to construct.

Pifias
Henry V's reign was in the early 1400s, but most of the costuming in the film is from 1600, the time of the plays writing, almost 200 years later. The armor on the other hand is accurate. In fact, there is no anachronism in the costumes. The story is told from two points of view (one in the 1600s, as a performance in the Globe Theater; the other in the 1400s, as the characters originally lived). Costumes shift on purpose according to the point of view.

Citas
King Henry V of England: Tell the Dauphin his jest will savor but of shallow wit, when thousands weep more than did laugh at it.

Créditos adicionales
The main title not only gives the full title of the play as William Shakespeare wrote it, but spells the words in the 16th-century manner, not in modern spelling.

Versiones alternativas
In the American release of the film, all references to "bastards" in the dialogue were excised.

Elegant

I saw a modern remake of this film, 1989, recently with Kenneth Branagh. The battle showed sweat and blood, a non-theatrical production in comparison to this 1944, very theatrical, Olivier production. Some reviewers denounce the heavy-handed acting of 1944, but I find it charming.

Olivier has an economical charisma. His acting has few flourishes, but his voice says everything. Olivier in period costume is mesmerizing. As Shakespeare's bad-boy prince turned earnest King, Olivier takes charge and demands the return of English lands from the rather effeminate French nobility. Outnumbered 10 to one, his merry band of Englishmen dispatches the Dolphin at Agincourt. Then he courts the French speaking princess Katherine with broken French and economy.

The recreation of old London and the Globe Theatre was delightful. The audience and players went on in heavy rains without complaint. The mention of Falstaff's name is enough to get applause, though the buffoon has only a short death scene.

I do believe the play has been abridged. Many of the longer speeches seem shortened. Still, this is accessible Shakespeare. How can you go wrong? Never!
