Macbeth

Orson Welles assigned some of the lines spoken by characters in the play to different characters in the film. He invented the character "A Holy Father" for the film to emphasize what he believed was the struggle between religion and witchcraft in the play, and many of Ross' lines in the play are spoken by the Holy Father. The very minor character of the Old Man was omitted from the film, and his lines were also given to the Holy Father. Welles also gave Lady Macduff an extra speech which William Shakespeare had assigned to another character.

Ophelia comes of age as lady-in-waiting for Queen Gertrude and her singular spirit captures Hamlets affections. As lust and betrayal threaten the kingdom Ophelia finds herself trapped between true love and controlling her own destiny.

Ophelia features scenic, stylized, exciting, inspirational and colorful style.
