The Merchant of Venice

Oscar-award winner Laurence Olivier takes on one of history's most enigmatic and challenging characters, the vengeful moneylender of Venice, Shylock. Olivier's incredible mastery brings to life Shylock's hatred of all those who have reviled him for being a Jew. His revulsion to the life-long persecution he has had to endure, and his blind lust for revenge, Shylock demands repayment in the form of a pound of Antonio's flesh.
