Remarks and general Information in German: Eine in stark stilisierten Kulissen gefilmte Adaption des Shakespeare-Dramas, dessen düsterer Expressionismus dem Geschehen eine eigenwillige Künstlichkeit gibt. Orson Welles dominiert in der Titelrolle, in einer kleinen Nebenrolle ist seine 10jährige Tochter Christopher als Macduffs Sohn zu sehen. »It was done as a ›B‹ picture quickie. I thought I’d have a great success with it and then I’d be allowed to do all kinds of difficult things as long as they were cheap. But it was a big critical failure. The biggest critical failure I ever had.« (Orson Welles) (Filmmuseum München)
