Macbeth
(1971) is a film directed by Roman Polanski, based on William
Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth, about the Scots Lord who
becomes King of Scotland through deceit, treachery, and murder. It
features Jon Finch as Macbeth and Francesca Annis as Lady Macbeth. For
cinematic purposes, passages from the original play were cut for time
and some soliloquies changed to inner monologues for the sake of
psychologic realism.
