Synopsis

A duke usurps his brother’s land and power, banishing him and his retinue into the forest of Arden. The banished duke’s daughter, Rosalind, remains with her cousin Celia. She has fallen in love with Orlando, but he has his own tyrannical brother to contend with, so he joins those in the forest. Rosalind, now banished, disguises herself as a young man, with Celia as her servant, and follows Orlando into the forest. There, nature stirs love’s fires in various rustics as well as in those from the court. Phebe, a shepherdess loved by Silvius, is herself smitten with the disguised Rosalind. Can true love find a way, and can brothers be reconciled and harmony restored? –IMDb

Lost me at times but overall this is a sound adaptation of a sound play. And it’s elevated just that little bit more by a charismatic turn from Olivier and some good editing from David Lean. Likeable.

I'm afraid I was rather bored by this movie, however it was very interesting to see a film so early in Laurence Olivier's career.
