In 1936, Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” was brought to life in this black-and-white film. This classic story is about mistreatment among family members but also young love. Orlando’s elder brother treats him like a peasant, so he decides to stand up for himself. He realizes he must leave his home and go to the forest where a banished Duke is now living because Duke’s own brother pushed him out of his home.
Celia is living with her uncle and cousin Rosalind, but when Duke decides to banish her, the cousins both leave together. Hiding out and living like peasants, the two cousins decide that Rosalind should dress like a young lad for safety. Little do they know that they will find many surprises in the forest, including love. For those who enjoy Shakespeare and classic old movies, “As You Like It” is delightful. We award it the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12-plus.
