[edit] Bishop of Ely

I wrote about the Bishop of Ely (Robert Helpmann): "in the film, he appears as a clown figure". That was reverted, referring to the fact that the exaggerated makeup was part of the on-stage characterization. Which is of course clear - but the makeup part also applies to all other characters! So why did I write this? Because the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ely are clearly conceived as a comical duo in the vein of "Laurel and Hardy" in the film. While the archbishop is more "straight", the bishop's clownish hairdo and behavior (see the scene with the papers where the Archbishop holds his long monologue!) justify I think the remark that he is a "clown figure" in the film.

As the editor who deleted this, I agree with you that Helpmann's comic characterisation goes beyond the clown-like makeup. I changed it because of the modern slapstick implications in the word, which was not how it was played. I have reinstated, but with "comic" replacing "clown" – I hope that is acceptable. Thanks for the explanation. --Moonraker88 06:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date dispute

Shouldn't this article actually be titled Henry V (1944 movie)? That was the release date in the country of production. Even USers like Your Humble can see that styiling it as a 1946 film because it was released in Los Angeles in that year is US-centric.

Yes, it's painfully US-centric, as well as inaccurate, that's why I'm changing it. JW

[edit] Title

I changed ...History Or... to ...History of.... Various sources including IMDB have "Or", but the title in the First Quarto used "of" and I doubt Olivier would have made the mistake. If someone has material from the movie itself, it'd be good to know. David Brooks 06:55, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
