May 10 1949 Approved 1h 32m
Drama, History, War

A Scottish warlord and his wife murder their way to a pair of crowns.

Plot

In fog-dripping, barren and sometimes macabre settings, 11th-century Scottish nobleman Macbeth is led by an evil prophecy and his ruthless yet desirable wife to the treasonous act that makes him king. But he does not enjoy his newfound, dearly-won kingship... Restructured, but all the dialogue is Shakespeare's.
