This is a simplified portrayal of Henry as a heroic king: all the bits of Shakespeare's play that cast him in a less-than-admirable light have been cut. However, as the film was released towards the end of the Second World War, the reason for showing Henry as a charismatic leader, successful in battle and who had right on his side is obvious. So it's a rather biased version but still a very entertaining film with the talented Laurence Olivier in the lead role.

Excellent quality. For some years I have had the c.d., of the film music and play it frequently whilst painting in my studio. Now I have the film!

A taste of Shakespeare's Globe, but full film action, all words spoken at a pace you can understand.
