Le Duel d'Hamlet

 

Sarah had previously commissioned a new French translation of Hamlet, Eugène Morand and Marcel Schwob provided her with a prose translation faithful to the original. If dialogue was heard in this film I believe it would have been taken from this translation. I am still trying to find a contemporary account of this film, it would be interesting to know if there was a musical accompaniment, if sound effects were employed and the duration of the film.
