Filmed in the old citadel of Mogador, Welles' film is a free transformation of Shakespeare's text simultaneously adapting it for cinematic purposes. Far from being attenuated, the text reveals under Welles' direction those restless, brooding aspects that lie hidden in the fold of Shakespeare's verse. Welles, working for three years on a modest budget, brilliantly synchronizes the visual rhetoric with the verbal imagery and contrives impressive webs of montage to match footage shot in Mogador and Venice.
