Well, MNJohnnie, here's something else upon which we agree!
Would you also agree that Kenneth Branagh's delivery was nearly flawless--with the glaring exception of omitting the humor of "with advantages"--and brilliantly stirring? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRj01LShXN8
I actually prefer it to Olivier's... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9fa3HFR02E (who also glosses over the humor).
Branagh by far - helped by Patrick Doyle’s music - where’s my sword......
