Macbeth, is a silent 1909 film adaptation of the William Shakespeare play directed by André Calmettes.[1] It was released on 3 December 1909. It is a silent black-and-white film with French intertitles. The film, "with its hand- somely illustrated intertitles and a busy cast moving with great collective precision ( within a frame used as a theatrical proscenium), made its way stateside just as the Vitagraph cycle [of Shakespeare adaptations, including Macbeth (1908 film)] was on its way."[2]
