I watched this quite recently as I was intrigued. Think it was briefly a freebie on my Amazon Prime Video list. Love the original Shakespeare play, like Tony Curtis (despite some of the crap he’s been in) and thought this might be an interesting modern military spin on the story. It isn’t – it’s awful. But it’s scarce and I guess that’s the whole point – to make it available for others so they can make up their own mind.
