My favorite version of Hamlet

I really liked the version that was directed by Mike Zefferelli. The setting in the beginning where the army was lined up, and armed ready for combat this scene created a  mood and also when Gertrud looked at Claudius while crying over her dead husbands body adds evidence to Hamlets theory of women being weak. The actress that plays Gertrud did well with showing how suddenly she went from grieving to lusting after her deceased husbands brother at the funeral. Then Claudius looking at her as if it had to be done and serious like he's hiding something like a secret....
