Try it, you may even like it.
I was staggered to find that this stunning version of Hamlet did not make back what it cost to make at the box office. The best way to understand Shakespeare is to see it enacted by a brilliant cast spanning both sides of Atlantic. The fact that the film is 4 hours in length possibly put a lot of people off. It is the full text of the play, which is often cut because of that fact. This is not a letter boxed version of the film as was the VHS edition, but sadly the "making of" mini-doco accompanying this DVD edition has been edited down in length. Accompanying the film is a 4hr commentary by Birmingham University's Russell Jackson, along with Branagh himself. Branagh's setting of the play in a "war-like" state, at the turn of the 19th century. This forms the outer ring out of the play's onion of a threatened state and monarchy where two families, Hamlet's and that of the prime minister Polonius', are falling apart under the scrutiny of the court and Denmark's subjects. The cinematography and 70 mm print make the most of the gold, white, red and blue sets and costumes. Rather than being forbidding and dark like other filmed versions of the play, this is bathed in light, with much of the action set in a Versailles-like hall of mirrors. Branagh loves his long tracking shots and whirling cameras, but his direction of the cast is excellent. Heston is great as the player king, Simon Russell Beale and Billy Crystal are witty gravediggers, Winslet is affecting as Ophelia. Julie Christie is a revelation as Gertrude, but the standout is Jacobi as Claudius. He can make Shakespeare's words, even the archaic ones, very easily understood. If your "teach'" turned you right off Shax at school, try this for size. Spot the great and good of British film and theatre in the cameos. I never tire of Branagh's Shakespeare films.

Does the job!
I wish the product was square like the puppy training pads, otherwise it is fine.

Stop making top heavy machines and if you do strengthen the joint between main body and wand
I have one beef with all these cleaners. The joint between main body of machine and wand is plastic.
The body and motor are "top" heavy and over time this joint loosens and wobbles. I think they need to be stronger or made from metal.
