I saw this film at an Asta Nielson retrospective at the Melbourne Film Festival a few years ago. Nielsen plays Hamlet as a women in disguise and is simply fabulous, and essentially the whole show, appearing in just about every scene. It's easy to see why she was regarded as a great actress as well as a great star. The film itself is quite well done and features an incredible death scene that is unique in cinema history its films like this that archives should be releasing on dvd and video
