I found the movie much more difficult to follow than other performances I've see, both DVD's and live performances. To me, the director and producer have taken great liberties with Shakespeare's play, and not for the better. Also, Olivier's performance is stilted and highly dated. Claire Bloom's performance as Queen Anne is simply stunning. If you want to see "the real deal", then borrow "The Hollow Crown". It covers Henry VI, Parts 1 and 2, and also Richard III. In order to understand what's going on, you have seen / read the two Henry VI plays first.
