Macbeth is a 1960 Australian TV film based on the play by William Shakespeare. It was directed by William Sterling.
The ABC would present another version of the play in 1965.
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the production as "visually efficient" but also "a dreadful warning of what can happen when a producer becomes frightened of a great text... a torrent of gabble and shouting. Some of the most concise dramatic poetry in all Shakespeare received treatment worthy of the race results."
