MST3K - Favorite Moments - Hamlet

Once again Shakespeare's Hamlet is done in a mediocre tv-version. To make matters worse, this one is German and is apparently filmed on location in Auschwitz - probably one of the most dreary set-designs EVER!
Everything is made of stone - including the actors (though it should be mentioned that Schell, who plays Hamlet, actually won an Oscar back in '61 and was a pretty good actor).
Look out for hairstyles by Bozo, guys in skirts, characters unfolding themselves, Patty LaBelle as a ghost, failed Danish flirting, incest, the unleashing of the "great Dane", very looooong monologues, Danish mind-melting, lots of woes, skull fondling, sudden icecream headache attacks, poison intolerance, good smelling tunics, synchronized asses, a Finnish SCUD-missile, a Danish arrest, and luckily no sign of Mel Gibson!
Enjoy!

Only MST3K is brave enough to skewer one of the greatest plays of the English language...and get away with it swimmingly:)
