Abstract
In 1944, members of the British royal family attended a private screening of Laurence Olivier's film adaptation of Henry V in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle. Henry V has a long history of appropriation for patriotic and monarchist purposes, particularly in times of war. Olivier's film was conceived as propaganda and dedicated to the "Commandos and Airborne Troops of Great Britain, the spirit of whose ancestors it has been humbly attempted to recapture," inviting the viewer to read Henry's English army as a celebratory remediation of British troops in action in 1944.
