Movie Description
William Shakespeare's immortal play about a Scottish warrior (Jon Finch) whose wife's lust for power transforms him into inhuman monster is given it's rawest, most brutal screen treatment in this version by Roman Polanski (ROSEMARY'S BABY, CHINATOWN). Filmed in suitably bleak locales and imbued with nudity not usually seen in the works of Shakespeare--along with realistically gory murders--this MACBETH is singular and sensational, but is not for the young or faint of heart.

Credits
Cast:Jon Finch, Martin Shaw

Notes
Color by Technicolor; Shot in Todd-AO 35 on location in North Wales.

This was the first film made by director Roman Polanski after the tragic murder of his wife Sharon Tate by Charles Manson's gang. Although "Macbeth" is in general quite violent, this version is particularly bloody and angry. It originally received an "X" rating, which was later reduced to an "R".

Additional cast: Diane Fletcher (Lady Macduff), Bruce Purchase (Caithness), Frank Wylie (Mentieth), Keith Chegwin (Fleance), Sydney Bromley, Noelle Rimmington, Maisie MacFarquhar, Elsie Taylor.

Additional credits: David W. Orton (production adviser), Kenneth Tynan (artistic advise), Sally Gilpin (choreographer), Ted Samuels (special effects), Richard Vetter (process consultant).
