Trama e commenti: mymovies.it - cinematografo.it - kataweb.it: «č la trasposizione filmica di uno spettacolo messo in scena da Olivier al National Theatre di Londra. Conta soltanto come registrazione. Di primo ordine la compagnia degli interpreti».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - sparrowsp.addr.com - tvguide.com - comohacercine.com - rottentomatoes.com - allmovie.com: «The 1965 Othello is literally a photographed stage play: a filmed record of the National Theatre Production of 1964, as staged by John Dexter and starring Laurence Olivier. As the easily led, fatally jealous Moor of Venice, Olivier wears thick black-faced makeup and speaks in an uncharacteristically deep, bellow-like voice. Some considered his portrayal of Othello to be an unflattering stereotype; others regard Olivier's interpretation as one of the finest Shakespearean performances ever captured on film. Less flamboyant, but no less effective, are Frank Finlay as Iago, Maggie Smith as Desdemona, Derek Jacobi as Cassio, and Joyce Redman as Emilia. Oscar nominations went to Olivier, Finlay, Smith, and Redman» (Hal Erickson).
