Has anyone seen Henry V with Laurence Olivier or the newer version with kenneth Branagh? Which version was better? Which one in easier to follow? I plan on showing it to my 13 yo dd this year.

Thanks for any help.

I love them both, but I am partial to Branagh. I like the music better, and the play between Branagh and his (ex) wife is lovely. Derek Jacobi is so wonderful as "Chorus" in the opening, all the kids were captivated immediately.

Look for others in the cast, too...John Sessions, Judi Dench, Ian Holm, Brian Blessed and more.
