Hamlet (1900 film)

"Hamlet", also known as "Le Duel d'Hamlet", is a "1900" French film adaptation of an excerpt from the William Shakespeare play "Hamlet". It is believed to have been the earliest film adaptation of the play, and starred actress Sarah Bernhardt in the lead role. It was directed by Clément Maurice. The film is two minutes in length. It also was one of the first films to employ the newly discovered art of pre-recording the actors voices, then playing the recording simultaneous to the playing of the film. So, while produced during the silent film era, the film is technically not a silent film.
