Le Duel d'Hamlet

Sarah reproduces her stage portrayal of Hamlet in the duel scene, along side Pierre Magnier as Laertes.

 
"The point!—envenom’d too! Then, venom, to thy work".

Produced for the Paris Exhibition of 1900, Le Duel d'Hamlet was first shown at The Phono-Cinéma-Théâtre. Unusually for the time the film was presented with sound. Very little of the film remains and the wax sound cylinders are lost completely.
